![“We went to South America on a trip and all I had was a Robert Johnson album. So that's a definite influence on the album. My bandmates John [Stanier, drummer] and Henry [Bogdan, bassist] were interested in expanding their roles as writers, so that had a positive impact on the record.” quote by Page Hamilton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ccd/page-hamilton-38715_albums_we-went-to-south-america-on-a-trip-and-a_1667032.jpg)
