ARTIST QUOTE
“All of our albums have been lyric-centric, and Midnight in a Bottle is even more so, because the genre of each song is led by the type of story we’re telling,” says Clayton. “Taylor Scott and I are both sensitive to what the song needs to be — whether it’s funky, moody, rock n roll or more indie. I love that fluidity and the freedom to let the song decide what it wants to be when it grows up.”
