The definition of the word “exist” is to “live, especially under adverse conditions.” There’s no single word that better sums up the themes of the 5 songs on our 6th EP. EXIST reflects the hearts and minds of two guys who have learned a lot in the past 10 years since GGFO started in 2013. We’ve been famously based in Brooklyn for all that time, but these 5 songs were all written in LA, the city that has unexpectedly become our new home post pandemic. Change can certainly be the catalyst for creativity and inspiration and I think that’s why this new batch of songs feels new and unique while oddly feeling like the MOST GGFO stuff we’ve ever done. We’ve evolved personally and musically. The concepts are more mature and less surface level. This EP feels more colorful, vast and nuanced both sonically and lyrically. We’ve never been strangers to writing about love, change, heartbreak, relationships and hard times but this time around we address the grey areas more than ever. Complicated ideas that everyone can relate to.
