As we're continuing to work on music, I think that's only becoming more engrained in our collective psyche, and it's yielding really cool results.' Maybe we should just create something for creativity's sake' rather than needing it to be a means to a specific end goal. I think that sort of gives us reprieve to sit back and say, 'Hey. Beyond that, given the current state of the world, it's unrealistic to expect too much or to plan too far ahead.

'Truthfully, we just wanted to make some songs together again. What were your intentions with this new song? What did you want it to represent? How much did those intentions change as you got deeper and deeper into the process? As far as the finished product, I think it's harder for us as creators to say.' We're all able to work more efficiently due to our experience. 'I think it streamlined the process without necessarily artistically affecting it, if that makes sense. How has the band's time spent on other projects affected what you ended up producing when you stepped back into the studio for this track? It'd been almost a decade since we'd last created music together, so it's been fun to see how advancements in technology have both affected and expanded the creative process.' How does it feel being back in this creative headspace? The conversation then shifted to creating new music, which was when the guys invited me back into the fold to create new music.' The pandemic changed that whole plan though, obviously. 'I was contacted by the guys, originally, about doing a handful of ten year anniversary shows for our 2010 album, 'They Said A Storm Was Coming'.

What was the moment that you decided that it was right time to return to Jamie's Elsewhere? We caught up with vocalist Aaron Pauley to chat about why now felt like the right time to return to the project and what it was like creating together again. Taking everything that made the band such a wonderfully unique and welcome addition to the post-hardcore scene a decade ago and bringing those elements crashing into the modern day with flair and fire, it's really good to have them back. Picking up where '10's 'They Said A Storm Was Coming' left off, the track is a triumphant, technical and terrifically atmospheric taste of what to expect as we move forwards into 2021 with a new narrative and a new story to tell. Jamie's Elsewhere are back, and we are delighted to be able to offer you an early listen to their new track 'The Soil And The Seed'. We also spoke to Aaron Pauley all about the band's reunion!
