Honestly, looking back at our childhood there isn’t a lot of time when we weren’t making music or trying to make something together. Even though we are siblings, we’ve always been close friends as well. Growing up we rarely fought or disagreed. There has always been a shared collective vision of what we wanted to achieve in this life and what we want to create.

We make everything in our home studio so, to be honest, we are in sweat pants for the majority of our recording sessions. Dressing up is always inspiring but usually, we are a bit too obsessive-compulsive on a project to think about anything else but the songs we are working on. We do always have some sort of a visual reference in mind when we are making something, imagination is good.

Absolutely. We want to be hands-on with anything and everything that comes from Between Friends and it’s been that way since we started the project. It all comes down to the fact that we’ve been doing this since we were kids and have seen it all. We don’t want to rely on anyone to get our job done for us.

Yeah, we are always pretty open about our personal feelings and about our relationships. We like to try and bottle up situations and experiences and translate them sonically as a kind of therapy. It feels amazing to get feelings off of your chest and into something that resolves loose ends.

During the process of creating this mixtape, we were very inspired by lost formats and bits of musical technology that we constantly overlook nowadays in this, somewhat, more advanced fast-moving time. We watched a lot of old iPod commercials and loved the stark minimalism. There is this futuristic yet timeless feel to how those ads look. We tried to pair that with a bit of ‘flashdance’ and that’s how tired of your love happened.

For the most part, we create based on experiences, so at first, this pandemic was extremely uninspiring. Eventually, making new music was our only escape from what was going on in the world and we really wanted to freely make stuff that made us feel good. There was a turning point towards the middle of the writing process when we realized how much we hadn’t talked about. From then on we worked at a rapid pace to get everything out of our heads and into songs.

Between Friends hotline! Yes, we love to talk with everyone. It has been such a cool safe place to be somewhat social. It feels incredible to break down the metaphorical barrier between artist and audience to create a free environment of comfortability with each other.

Tape 003 is the raw and honest piece of the puzzle. Each project brings something new to the table but for us, it was like a diary of reflection.

When we created Lonely we were in the heat of isolation due to the pandemic. We hadn’t seen friends in a while and we were locked in the studio every day looking for new ways to escape reality. we started to reflect on past situations, relationships and experiences and found a great bit of solitude getting these stories out into songs.
It is a prime example of reflection in our room. Our past situations, whether that be relationships or friendships, they’ve all played a part in who we both are today. Our main objective coming out of these relationships is figuring out how to find ourselves again in new ways and how to grow from them.

Hopefully, this can be interpreted in many ways based on how it makes you feel. We wanted to capture the feeling of isolation and loneliness that we have felt before, in bigger ways. Nothing ever seems as lonely as someone lost in space.

Looking for connection and some human interaction as soon as possible!
