Here's what singer Gary Deveney has to say about the feel of his band's new record:

Deaths and Entrances was a title before it was an album – and a poem before it was a title… By Dylan Thomas… We loved how vast it was, and it seemed to sum up exactly what we wanted to do next. It gave us something to aim for. We wanted to 'pull the thunderbolts, shut the sun, plunge, and mount our darkened keys'
