'Fist Me 'til Your Hand Comes Out My Mouth' is our final album for Crywank. It was recorded half way through our 2019-2020 farewell tour which was postponed right before the USA leg due to the covid-19 pandemic. It's the first of our albums to feature percussionist Dan on lead vocals and songwriting, which he does for half of the songs, with James doing the other half. The album was recorded in variety of ways, in a recording studio, on mobile phones whilst traveling, on a Tascam four track tape recorder in a practice room and dictaphones whilst seeing friends. Songs where written about our time together and time apart, and where written both together and apart. Some songs made on our own would be completed by the other. There are also a few solo songs from both James and Dan. It wasn't recorded or approached how we usually would an album, with the focus whilst making it being that it's made more for us than for an audience. As a sort of form of therapy to create some joy out of what is inevitably disintegrating. We wouldn't have been able to do this album if it wasn't for Joe of No Studio (or any of our albums since our Tour Demos seven years ago for that matter). As we approached this more conceptually it meant way more of a demand on an engineer and prodcuer and we really appreciate all of the work Joe has put into this. This album is about our relationship with both each other as friends and bandmates, and our relationship with the band, and how it' gradually taken over our lives. It's about codependency, ownership, resentment, ego, privilege, the importance of self-reflection and the importance of being silly. We hope you find a moment of joy or self-reflection within this album, and that what we've made out of our crumbling can make the crumbling worthwhile.

This album is dedicated to the memory of Mikhail
Mount Seldom Forever
