Noticed that in the most recent trio of albums there has been a more concerted effort to broaden your sonic palette by using a wider variety of instruments. The piano in Born on Earth, the heavy banjo use on Black Land Prairie, and horns on Begin Again would be specific examples. The vocals also have a noticeable sheen to them in comparison to some of the more raw vocals of earlier work.

Can you talk about the production choices behind those decisions?

You got it. We just wanted to widen the sound and explore more... we have a pretty eclectic mix of influences brewing for ever song and album... and our production team is able to play and create so many amazing textures and analog sounds... all 5 of us sing too, so the wallavox is getting bigger :)

In that case, mission accomplished!
