Artificial Paradise technically started with a song called West Coast that we started in a hotel room in New Orleans in 2016.
That song led to a series of others over the last eight years that didn’t quite make sense together, but we kept collecting songs and we kept writing; as we do, in different hotel rooms and studios dotted around the world.
The shape of a new album started taking place and so much of the lyrics, and so many of these songs were written in the last couple years while we navigated a world, full of artificial stories and constructs and paradise - all around the world and people’s digitally broadcasted lives and the lives that we create for ourselves and the stories that we tell ourselves and others.
And as we continue to talk about this new paradigm, the phrase ‘artificial paradise’ kept coming up over and over and over again. And it just feels all too resonant with the world we currently live in, and the aspiration of so many people, for better or worse.
Amidst all of that artificiality, we are trying to find real connection and real love, and a real story.
- Ryan

The older you get, the more you realize it's not about who knows you the longest, it's about who sees you, appreciates you, respects you, supports you, grows with you, calls you out on your bullsh*t, and understands your energy so you don't spend a lifetime translating your vibe.

"Dobbiamo educare i nostri figli al no. Se li proteggiamo troppo nella loro comfort zone non saranno abituati alle sconfitte né ai no delle fidanzate. L'educazione sentimentale va assolutamente insegnata a scuola ma deve partire da noi" #esempremezzogiorno
🔵Lo sfogo di Elena, sorella di #GiuliaCecchettin sui social: "Io non starò mai zitta. Non mi farete tacere. C'è bisogno di capire che i 'mostri' non nascono dall'oggi al domani. C'è una cultura che li protegge
e alimenta".
