In a letter to fans announcing the album, Seth Avett wrote,\u00a0\u201cSomewhere along the way, the line between music and life faded\u00a0\u2014\u00a0then evaporated altogether. With the disappearance of this division, the songs have become increasingly reflective in their nature. It is with this current focus and harmony between art and living that we pen our songs.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
