Of the new single, the band says, _“Sometimes it feels like everyone’s crazy except
you. But if everyone’s crazy except you, that actually makes YOU feel like the crazy
one. Sometimes you wake up and you think everyone’s against you, even though you
know that’s not true, which makes you feel MORE crazy. Most of the time you’re wrong
about all of it, but sometimes you’re right. “Crickets” is about the assumption 
that regardless of if you’re wrong or right, realistically no one actually gives
a shit, even though you desperately want them to.”_

In discussing the new album, drummer, vocalist David Green explains, _“This record
took forever to make and it nearly killed me. When we got back from tour in 2019
I was falling apart. Physically, mentally, personally, you name it. I wasn’t sure
about my place in the people I cared about’s eyes, in the punk scene, in anything._

_“I wasn’t sure exactly how to start working on new material, but never the less
we tried to. Then all of a sudden we were stranded in Mexico after our vehicle and
all of our gear was stolen. I was already holding together by a thread and in an
instant, the one thing that sort of made me feel ok was gone._

_“So we stopped writing songs for a while so we could slowly figure out how to get
new instruments. Then once we did and were finally feeling good enough to start 
working on it again, a funny thing happened: the world shut down. We got laid off
from our jobs, our families were at high risk, and once again we were kinda stuck
in limbo. We again paused working on new songs (or anything) for a few months._

_“Eventually, me and Nick started meeting up a couple times a week in my backyard,
him on one side of the yard with an acoustic, me on the other side with a practice
pad, and we finally started working on these new songs. We re-wrote most of what
we had already, we wrote and re-wrote new ones._

_“Matt, who had recently joined the band in the middle of all of this, started joining
us in these backyard practices. We started quarantining together and taking multiple
tests a week so we could finally be in a room together to finish up for real and
record them._

_“And the end result is that these are hands down the best Moonraker songs on the
best Moonraker album. Nick killed it, Matt killed it, I killed it, Chris Collier(
who recorded it) killed it. I feel closer with Nick and Matt as bandmates and friends
and am super proud of the musicianship that they brought to the table on this one.
And even though it’s 12 songs documenting perhaps the darkest part of my life, all
three of us are in agreement that we couldn’t be more proud of it which makes me
happier than anything.”_
