"Our music exists to spread love and positivity across the world. For those hurting, for those lost, we want every song to be a pathway that can lead anyone to brighter days. We often write our songs in ways that can better relate to the listener, so that they can be serviced by the stories and emotions we hope to capture with our words. Music is one of the most powerful platforms in the world for people to relate to one another, so we hope to create music that people can rejoice together in, no matter who they are or where they’re from. It’s becoming easier nowadays to judge everything from its appearance due to convenience. We want to reinforce the idea that to give purpose to something is to understand the layers beyond that outer surface. That any song can become a moment, any moment can become a canvas, and any canvas can become an escape. In a world full of surfaces, it’s up to us to interpret meaning beyond them, in whatever facet that may be." (from Surfaces website).
