Frog & Toad by Frog & Toad

The mind is like the woods. It can be beautiful and alluring, but also dark and difficult to navigate. When lost in these woods, one might find the person they once were begin to bend, break and fall apart. It is within this storm of uncertainty where it can be extremely difficult to stay calm and centered. Please take action when you notice a loved one rooting themselves in a social or emotional hiatus. Be kind, because you never know how someone truly feels before it’s too dark to help them. Most importantly, keep your family close. Their love will guide you through the thick of the woods and back to the home you once knew.

We began working on this album back in 2015 — a year after the passing of our good friend, Sean. It started out as a way for us to creatively expel the turmoil we were still processing after his death. It became a tangible emotional response to this tragedy, but also served as proof that even in darkness, flowers can bloom.
