When The Sun Sets showcases a light and bouncy energy with "But What If We Struck Gold?." The band creates stand-out melodies that flow nicely against the feature of lolitslea. Lyrics expose a layer of emotions that's tied to the music industry.
""But What If We Struck Gold?" is a love letter to the music industry and the things in your life that try to drive a barrier between you and your dreams. It’s a testament to the ups and downs of doing this, and we truly wouldn’t trade a second for anything. Bringing lolitslea in on this song was a no-brainer because she is one of the hardest working artists we know. She is grinding in this scene and showing artists that it’s not only okay to be independent, but it is something you should be PROUD of." - Zack Baumgartner, lead vocalist.
"The Card’s We’re Dealt is a culmination of the last few years of our lives both as individuals and as a band. This album shines a light on some of the happiest times in our lives, and some of the most vulnerable because we want every listener to know that this life is full of ups and downs. The most important thing is that we are in it together, and we believe this record has a song for everyone on it that can truly speak to them. After 7 years and three studio EPs, we knew that it was time to make a longer piece of work, but we had no idea what it would become. The Cards We’re Dealt is a perfect summary of this band in one package, with all of our friends + family who made it possible." - Zack Baumgartner, lead vocalist.
