LONG/LAST On the Making Of “Therapy”
What was the creative process like for this particular "Therapy?"
We wanted to write a song similar to some of the dirty, bedroom-produced pop stuff that's become so popular in the last couple of years. We collaborated with a few different writers and came up with the chorus guitar riff, and from there we wrote the song in the studio over the course of a few days.
What was the initial spark or idea that led to the creation of "Therapy?"
We were really into an artist called Boon at the time, so we decided to try and write something similar to some of his songs sonically. It didn't really end up sounding much like a Boon song, but we're still super happy with how it turned out!
What did you enjoy most about making this track?
We really went out of our comfort zone with the guitar work. None of us knew what we were doing and we just goofed around until we came up with a riff we thought was cool, and it really ended up shaping a lot of the record. It was a lot of fun coming up with a new way to approach writing guitar parts.
Where do you find inspiration for your songs or musical ideas?
We really tried to draw a lot of inspiration from top 40 pop and stuff like that for this last batch of songs. We wanted to try and write pop songs with heavy guitars.
What do you enjoy most about performing live and connecting with your audience?
It's always a ton of fun working with the crowd and giving them their own parts to sing and participate in. It's also always such a great feeling when enough people in the crowd know the words to your songs that you can hear them singing it back to you. There's nothing like it.
