I'm in a hip restaurant in Soho, London last night. A very 80s synthwave sounding track starts playing. I asked the waiter, "excuse me who's playing?" He returned moments later and placed this scrap of paper on my table.

A very last minute mission for the Sophomore album slowed things up a bit, but for a very good reason. But tonight, the album was completed. It's all mastered except this one track that's on its way and we're done! It's been a bit of an epic journey, but hopefully worth it!
