Musical direction

The band's musical direction shifted greatly from their last album which led to a lot of mixed reviews and confusion amongst fans. Vocalist Jake Wolf explained "It’s a sound that was found while writing The Fantasy Effect and lost in the midst of writing and recording our album Exi(s)t."[1]

Lyrics

In an interview with NewNoise Magazine, Wolf explained that "It wasn’t until the process of writing and making The Color Clear that I was able to find myself again." He also went on to state that many of the topics included on the album reflect his "years of physical, mental and emotional abuse, chemical dependency, more traumatizing events than I care to remember, and years of self harm."[2]
