"In August of last year, we had a small window of time at home, in Montreal. Having been on the road for a few months, we were eager to write again, and excited about the material we had put aside," the band wrote of the new EP in a Facebook post this week. "In a focused burst of energy, we dug into a few ideas, trying to construct a home in which they could all live together. These four are the result of that process - a 'companion' to the train of thought we started with DITI."
