What is growth for you?

Growth means stepping into things that feel uncomfortable or unknown. As a band, it’s about pushing ourselves creatively—trying new sounds, experimenting with different ways of performing, and always staying curious. On a personal level, it’s about learning, making mistakes, and being okay with not having everything figured out. Just keep keeping on.

What keeps you grounded?

Our lifestyle as artists can feel chaotic, but certain things always bring us back to ourselves—playing music, spending time in nature, and just being around the right people. Family, friends, and real connections are a huge part of that. Also, little routines help, like a morning coffee in a quiet spot or just taking a deep breath before going on stage.

How do you connect with nature?

We try to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Whether it’s swimming in a lake after a show, having plants in our studio or just sitting outside and listening to the world around us, nature has a way of resetting everything. Our studio is next to a forest, so we try to walk, mountain bike, and just be in the forest every day.

What is a book that has inspired you?

Cacti. They’re tough and don’t need much to survive, but when they bloom, it’s something special. We’re excited to see a lot of them on our upcoming US tour—there’s something about the aesthetic that just inspires us.

What is your favorite plant?

Human Kind by Rutger Bregman. It challenges the idea that people are naturally selfish and instead shows how cooperation and kindness have shaped human history. That perspective is really inspiring, especially in a world that often focuses on the negative. It’s a reminder to trust in people, stay open, and focus on the good.
