The group commented on the EP’s creation, stating, “We like the idea that music has the ability to capture the moment in time in which it was made, for good and for bad. For us, we think this EP sounds like us figuring it out, and we find that really appealing at the moment. We can’t sit here and say that we know what we’re doing yet because we really don’t, but that’s how it should be at this stage, because everything feels so new much of the time. This year has been one of great change for the band, and we feel like So Much Country reflects this. We’re not there yet, but we’re cycling down the Oxford Road towards it, whatever ‘it’ is in this case.”
