“‘Meeting The Master’ peers into an esoteric world heeded by the word of a wise teacher,” says the band in a statement. “Sung in the voice of a devout believer, and eventual group exclamation, the song details the love these fervent followers have for their teacher and their firm belief in his vision. It’s an exotic spiritual journey. A dark comedy that inevitably ends in chaos.”
The forthcoming new album was written and recorded by the family band—lead singer Josh Kizka, guitarist Jake Kizka, bassist/keyboardist Sam Kizska, and drummer Danny Wagner—alongside Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb.
“We didn’t really have to force or be intense about writing, because everything that happened was very instinctual,” Jake says. “If anything, the record is our perspective, and sums up where we are as a group and individually as musicians.”
“We had this idea that we wanted to tell these stories to build a universe,” says Wagner. “We wanted to introduce characters and motifs and these ideas that would come about here and there throughout our careers through this world.”
