Bunkering down at Def Wolf Studios in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire over the winter, the band co-produced Tales <\/em>themselves with long time friend Thomas Sigal. Having created So Far From Home<\/em> in a near-identical fashion, the band hoped to develop their working relationship further by exploring the potential raised by their new line-up and outlook. “We wanted to write an honest record,<\/em>” says McDonald. “True to the music we love and listen to, while also pushing ourselves into a more developed sound and style.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Me!<\/strong> leader Laura Jane Grace<\/strong> joins Amends on this new single “Walking Backwards.” and the band couldn’t be more excited and proud. “We met Laura on a 2018 tour of Australia, and struck up quite the friendship,<\/em>” recalls McDonald. “We had a list of people we might want to do guesties on this record, and we honestly thought <\/em>Laura and <\/em>Sarah [Balliet]<\/em> were a long shot \u2013 but hey, here we are<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All of Laura\u2019s projects (especially Against Me!) have been really big influences on this album, as well as our band\u2019s writing in general. To have Laura be willing to be a part of it is truly so special, and a real band highlight for us all.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
