My head kind of went out of the game or something. Then, you get back into the swing." Daniel Rossen elaborated, "The whole process with this record felt like starting over. Regarding the band's eventual return, Ed Droste noted, "Coming back together to try to write and record was like being in junior high again – after you go away for the summer, the first couple of weeks are slightly awkward when you get back to school. But, I really didn't want to book myself in with a band and go record them, so I decided I'd try and make my own record." Daniel Rossen recorded and released a solo EP, Silent Hour/Golden Mile (2012), featuring tracks initially intended for Shields. When we finished touring, I didn't want to take some time off, I just wanted to go into the studio. For whatever reason, I'm the kind of person who needs to constantly to work on stuff. I felt a little bit shell-shocked by the touring experience of Veckatimest and part of me was just wondering if there was some other version of a life that I could have that wasn't as heavily involved in the music industry." ĭuring the break, bass guitarist and producer Chris Taylor released a solo album, Dreams Come True (2011), under the pseudonym CANT, stating, "I can't just take a break. That was really good for everybody." Vocalist and guitarist Daniel Rossen stated, "Those were strange times. I needed to be back in my life with my friends and my spouse, and live a day-to-day existence that had nothing to do with music.
Vocalist Ed Droste noted, "There was such a level of exhaustion that I really needed to pretend I wasn't in the band for a little bit.
