Speaking of the new video, vocalist Hayden Rodriguez explains:

“The ideas behind the song and video were born of frustration with my belief that shitlibs will always sell us (poor people) down the river in favor of maintaining the status quo. Attention spans are increasingly limited and empathy seems to be a vestigial organ. Faceless bureaucracies essentially hold our lives in their hands and it seems like most people don’t care.”

On the album, Rodriguez adds:

“This Bitter Garden is the first recording where we got to express ourselves as the full band we’ve been playing as for the last four years. Everyone’s voice comes through. We’ve progressed, but it still feels like For Your Health.

Guitarist Rosa Delgado shares:

“These songs are a true distillation of all the sonic ideas we’ve explored previously and our different interests. Hayden has a strong appreciation for film. We’re coupling his world-building and atmosphere with the immediacy, urgency, and brutality of our early material. We’re always striving to challenge ourselves. This Bitter Garden is an expansion of everything before.”
