Of the distinctly optimistic bouncy pop number, Brian says “we played for the first time in Buenos Aires last year and I woke up the next morning having dreamt the chorus.

It’s a rare thing for me and even rarer that I end up remembering the words. I had to interpret what “she’s lived 2 or 3 as many lives as me” meant. It made me think of a guy who wasn’t cultured or worldly enough for his girlfriend and had to pretend to be interested in fine art and history.”

Underneath its poppy exterior, Look For Your Mind!, contains an undercurrent of paranoia and suspicion. “I do think that now is a time of insanity,” admits Brian after pausing for thought. “You really have to hold onto your own mind if you don’t wanna lose it.”

New to this album is the inclusion of the live members Reza Matin (drums) and Danny Ayala (bass), as well as Eva Chambers of Tchotchke. With the D’Addario brothers, Brian and Michael, previously having handled everything in the studio themselves, this shows a newfound sense of freedom.

The ringing guitars of first single ‘I Just Can’t Over Losing You’ may create a familiarly pleasing mood, but when the bridge comes in at an unexpected time, the chorus is cut in half, and Brian and Eva’s harmonies build to its euphoric climax, the conventions for a pop song such as this are broken.
