“The first part of it is music, literally, not wanting to be the sole purpose for you.
“‘Objectif’ is about music from the other side, if music was a person,” he said. “I thought of Anti Dove, and it kind of gave me the idea that the name Anti Dove is not like a crow, and it means you’re going against what you’re supposed to be, or what people see you as, or where people think that you should be.”Īrballo also tried to explain the meanings behind track “Objectif.” “We were talking about crows, and I saw a meme and said, ‘That shit’s so crow,’” McCune said. (Now, consider yourself warned: Things are going to get a little … deep here.) The theme of the Anti Dove EP is going against the grain, and the title came about from an inside joke. Sometimes we miss out on shows, but getting things done, I think, is way more important to us.” “We don’t take gigs when we’re recording, or we minimize the gigs that we take, because we want to make sure that we’re focused. We’ve learned a lot in this past year, and that has helped us streamline our ideas.”Īrballo said they make sure to set time aside for recording. … We sat there with a song, and then we would upload it to our drive and listen to it, and then be like, ‘I have an idea for it.’ We wanted to get these demos done quickly, but make sure that when we’re doing our songwriting, we’re doing it correctly, instead of letting things hang. “For the upcoming album, we used our time very well. “Sometimes we don’t give songs time,” Arballo said. During our interview, Arballo at one point said that new songs are “literally vomiting out of us,” so I asked how they are able to tell when a song is truly finished. … It felt easy to turn around and be like, ‘You know what, honestly, I don’t feel it,’ and go back to how it was … without having feelings hurt.”Īt their recent EP-release show, the duo performed six new songs that will be featured on their first full-length album. When we started working on the EP after he came back from having COVID, with some of the songs all sped up, he’s like, ‘Tell me what you feel.’ I listened to it for a couple of days, and I didn’t have the same feeling for myself-and I didn’t have any fear of being able to communicate that to him. Miguel plays a lot of shit that sounds cool, and it always catches my ear.”Īdded Arballo: “I think it’s really important to be able to go back and forth and be open with what you feel on the song. I might come up with a part he might come up with a part, and there are times when we write songs just because he’s playing something random.
We’re both on the same page, so when we go and we start writing these songs, it ends up being really easy. We both are listening to similar music … and we both have a vision in mind for the band that is really similar. “The songwriting process has been really natural.
“Working with him, in my opinion, is just a really easy process, because he’s open to all my crazy ideas. “One of the first things that made me want to start making music with Miguel is that, even though he’s quite a bit older than me, he’s always treated me with the same amount of respect as he would give to everybody,” McCune said.
