To create art for art’s sake is as pure an intention as a band can have. Writing a song that
may never even see the light of day, but speaks to the very reason that you want to create in
the first place. Putting joy, connection and fulfilment above anything else, and reaping the
rewards that come from pushing such human endeavours. It’s a noble and selfless position
to place yourself in, one that sits at the very root of why we all fall in love with music in the
first place.
For As It Is, it was an absolute necessity to do things like this.
It was the only way that they could even attempt to recapture what once brought them
together 13 years ago. A moment in time where Patty Walters, Ben Langford-Biss, Ali Testo,
and Patrick Foley could reconvene for the first time in a long time, look back on the highest
highs and lowest lows they have experienced together, and draw hope and inspiration from
them once again.
From that, they have created ‘As It Is, the first body of work made as a quartet in eight years.
A record that finds them at the most comfortably bold they have ever been, delivered via
the most beautiful brand of collective catharsis.
