Speaking about the album Tom said, “I hope the album feels human and real and that there are some flaws – because the flaws help make it what it is."
"Really, I’d love to live in a time when music felt uncontrived and imperfect and gave people a real sense of elevation."
"When it’s sad I want it to be REALLY sad. When it’s happy I want it to feel euphoric…I suppose I want the record to express the heightened feelings and emotions we all get in our lives”.
