"My approach as an artist has always been to write from where I am now. It's been two decades since Semisonic made a full record together, so it was interesting to write from the perspective of returning to the band and finding it inspiring but very different. I couldn't help but think about the early days, about the formative influences that shaped and inspired us, but a lot of the songs are about the present moment in my life."
—Dan Wilson on making the first Semisonic full-length album in over two decades[1]
