In:Aviate

GRATITUDE. What a ripper of a weekend! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming out and participating in these shows. We are humbled & appreciative for all the love and energy y’all gave. A special thank you to those of you that traveled cross country to participate

In The Beginning// “If by chance you get the chance to do what you love, I suggest that you do.” This is the last track on the record and therefore the last track by track social media post.

And The World Will Know // While not the last official track on the record, this one was meant to be the emotional culmination of the mental process of the entire album.

Kissing Tigers// On the journey of establishment of societal concepts we reach a point where dark or negative emotions come to the surface. Jealousy. Greed. Excessive pride. Betrayal. Kissing Tigers is meant to represent these themes.

We All Seek The Truth // “We hide inside our homes and act like we’re out saving souls. Because we’re damned if we do, and we’re damned if we don’t.”

Awake// Awake is a song based around familial love, to me this translates to the bands bond and brotherhood that I:A had, “Brothers Before Bandmates”

Eulalia // Throughout the creation of 1985, there were highs and lows. To me, Eulalia represents the peak of joy during that journey.

Ascension//   This track was something that started as a sound check riff for me and when we started fleshing out the concepts for 1985 it felt like a great piece to use as a turning point in the record. Sort of a contemplative break moving from ambiguity to affirmation.
