In keeping with my illustrious history of not writing anything in this journal for months at a time, here I am again after having not written anything in the journal for months. There has been much to write about in terms of the band and the seemingly inevitable soap opera that followed the completion and release of Between Sunlight and Shadow, but I always found myself unable to articulate exactly what was happening. Thankfully there is a bit of distance between those tumultuous times and now, so perhaps I’ll be able to document a bit of what we’ve been through over the last several months.
