Noisey has the exclusive premiere of the album’s lead track “Ollie North” today alongside a lengthy interview on the laborious process of writing and recording the record. Singer/guitarist Neil Berthier said in the interview of the recording process “I think we all lost something in one way or another, some more than others… There was a lot of distracting pain involved in making it.”
