In an interview with Rock 100.5 The KATT‘s Cameron Buchholtz carried out at this previous September’s Rocklahoma pageant in Pryor, Oklahoma, Saller spoke about ATREYU‘s choice to shift their focus away from releasing albums to placing out a sequence of EPs.Saller stated: “The entire mission as a complete sort of tells form of the identical story in repeat. And we simply wished a strategy to sort of simply have the ability to shine a lightweight on the songs just a little bit extra individually. I really feel like plenty of occasions you set out albums today and also you get three or 4 songs that get any form of consideration. The remainder of them simply go by the wayside, which sucks if you’re creating artwork and placing every part you’ve gotten into artwork.”
He continued: “Every EP goes by the cycles of life, the seasons of life, if you’ll, to inform one huge story on the finish. So it is sort of a means that we are able to get just a little bit extra in depth with a sort of a narrative and in addition a means that we are able to have our viewers actually have the ability to concentrate on smaller parts of songs at a time.”

In order that feels good for us.”

They’re in the dead of night and also you spent all this time on these songs.
“We’re not a band that has traditionally put out information with a bunch of filler; it is exhausting to get songs previous us,” he defined. “So, for us, it is, like, ‘Oh, effectively, man, it simply did not have alternative to get proven.’
“I am all about different strategies of launch,” Saller added. “I feel that bodily launch actually solely lies in vinyl and funky, like, collectors’ sort of stuff today. I do not care about CDs. I could not play a CD if I wished to. I haven’t got a CD [player] in my automotive. I haven’t got a CD participant in my laptop. However so far as simply releasing issues, I simply wanna launch issues that make it extra accessible and simple to truly devour and digest them. And I feel that that doubtlessly is in singles and EPs. I do not know every part or something. So we’ll see the way it goes.”
