“We were finishing 'Verdict' in the midst of our first UK tour. By playing it a little differently each show, we were learning to look at the song from different angles.” The recording feels alive because of this process – there's a chaotic feel to the drums and bass that didn't It wouldn't have existed if we hadn't finished writing it live,” Slocum shared in a statement. “Lyrically I was thinking about why we judge the world around us, and how judging someone or something is usually rooted in distrust. “In the soul.”
