Interestingly enough, going into this record we didn’t have a bass player we’d parted ways with Anders, and during the whole rehearsal process we had no bassist. I was producing on this album again, so during that time I was also thinking about the overall big picture and how everything was working together. “We spent a lot of time in the rehearsal room in a pre-production sense, just hashing out ideas and making sure we had the best batch of songs. We played our last show of the cycle in Odense, Denmark about a year ago, and we’ve been off ever since then working on the songs for this new album, Seal The Deal And Let’s Boogie.” How did the songs for the new album come together?
