History

Departure of Pearson and Young and Courageous (2010–present)

On December 20, 2010, the band announced that Pearson had left the band to focus on a new musical project (reportedly to become the lead singer of Saosin, however he ended up replacing Jonny Craig as the lead singer in Dance Gavin Dance). The band also stated that they were going to audition new singers and continue on as a band. The departure of Pearson forced them to drop off the No Rain, No Rainbow tour with Greeley Estates and the Downtown Battle Mountain II tour with Dance Gavin Dance that took place early 2011. After Pearson's departure, the group wrote instrumental tracks while looking for a new vocalist. It was also announced that Spencer Bradham has joined as keyboardist, although later was clarified he only joined as a studio member due to him not being able to go on tour because of his work as audio engineer.[1]

The band's first instrumental album, Young and Courageous was released on February 4, 2014.

The band released its second instrumental album, Every Nothing, on August 3, 2018.

Style and songwriting

Songwriting is an integrative process involving every member, with the exception of vocal tracking for Empire Theory, on which Pearson recorded separately from the band, due to being in a different city. Empire Theory is a concept album about war and mercy with the songs being mapped out. On Dreamhouse many of the songs were written by either Gill or Pearson sitting in a room alone, coming up with a song structure and essential riffs. Then the drums and bass were worked individually and the songs were interactively built piece by piece. The recurring theme lyrically in Dreamhouse is about not taking the life you have for granted.[2]

gollark: Why not just steal how Rust does strings? Or maybe make strings immutable if this is high level.
gollark: This is how it SHOULD be done.

gollark: Hmm. I should probably edit the manifesto thing a bit.
gollark: Ah yes, oops.
