Cooked up in studios and basements around Los Angeles, we set out to push ourselves in musical directions that are new and exciting to us. Embracing new recording techniques and processes, we broke\u00a0songs down\u00a0to their barest bones and rebuilt them into musical Frankenstein monsters. From uptempo tracks like \u2018Drug,\u2019 to the ratty snarl of \u2018Lucy,\u2019 we&#8217;ve broken out of our own musical molds and built a world of trashy guitars, distorted synths, crushing programmed drums, and a whole lot of fun and noise.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Alex Gaskarth added \u201c<em>&#8216;Strange Love&#8217; is the proverbial foot-kicking-down-the-door to the house of Simple Creatures. We picked these songs to represent everything that this project is about, to defy expectations, and to showcase the stylistic choices we set out to make from its inception. The approach to writing was, \u2018whatever makes us feel like we\u2019re way outside of our comfort zone.\u2019 We weren\u2019t afraid to push each other and strive to get stranger.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Well then.
