“It’s so easy to forget how improbable and spectacular it is that we are simply alive. It feels like our lifelong mission to remind people of this through our music and to help them reconnect with themselves and everything around them—including ourselves, especially ourselves!” — Berry Krikken (Jack)
“Making music and touring is a dream come true. It’s important to us to create music that we love and to enjoy the freedom of the creative process. We are proud of what we’ve achieved as independent artists, incredibly grateful for the experiences we’ve had, and excited for what the future holds—sky’s the limit.” — Sebastiaan Weerman (The Weatherman)
