They’re bringing a new look too; softer around the edges and more mature. “I guess I could say, we’ve laid down our weapons?!” jokes Katie who has never presented herself as a perfect prophet. “The songs are an honest depiction of times that I’ve failed, my own pitfalls and experiences of choosing to relive the same painful story, rather than choosing to grow.”
When it came to finally naming the album, the grandiose concept jumped out. “Saves The World” might sound like a facetious statement about the power of pop, but it’s an earnest reflection on the band’s own survival. “It’s about saving yourself,” says Gavin of the title. “If you’re committed to saving yourself you are saving the world.” And, you know, it’s a little messianic too. “When people take responsibility for their own stories and accept that they are capable of being their own heroes the whole world could shift in a crazy way.”
