"Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection."
The album represents a vital space for both the band and their listeners. Elaborating on the deeper meaning behind the title, Lee told the media:
"Music is my sanctuary. In touring the world and in playing these shows, we see that it is that for everyone. So being able to create a place where we can come together, human beings, and find each other and express ourselves freely, it's just such a beautiful thing."
Fans will not have to wait long to experience the new tracks live. The band kicks off their headlining world tour this month, featuring an incredible lineup of special guests including Spiritbox and Poppy.
