Greet Death  recorded   Die In Love  in Harper’s parents’ basement in Davisburg, Michigan, the place where she and Logan spent much of their preteen and adolescent years. They cut their teeth in that basement, learning how to be a band around the time School of Rock came out and inspired in aughts kids a new possible life path. Logan and Harper covered Metallica and Blink-182 and wrote songs about batteries and frozen yogurt. Returning to that basement well over a decade later to record their third album felt like the back-to-basics moment they needed, something that would take the pressure off after years away from the studio.

Ever since they were kids, music has been the primary form of communication for Logan and Harper. Between them, they’re able to mine the absolute essence of everything both through big picture ideas and small vignettes of life. In Logan’s songs we hear the former, and in Harper’s the latter.

Die In Love  asks how we can possibly cope with all the inevitable loss we’ll experience in this life. How on Earth can anyone survive it? The point is that none of us do. So, enjoy the bullshit Eagles songs while they last; the cheap beer, the disappointing New Year's Eve celebrations, the family members and the lovers who choose to stay a little while.

“ Pain and loss. Everyone feels it, it’s a very human thing,” says Logan.  He continues: “ At the end of the day, we’re lucky to lose people we care about."
