“And then for us on this new one, Prizefighter, we had Aaron Desner. Who's known us for 15 years or something. Helped us with the demos for our third record. Has been a friend of ours for a long time. Seen us go through lots. Also happens to be in one of my favorite bands of all time, The National.”
