Background edit
According to the drummer player Phil Chamberlain, "Most of the record was written on the piano. Aaron sat at his dad's baby grand and wrote for months. We were lodgers for the entire writing of Find Your Worth. We were listening to a lot of Tom Waits' The Heart of Saturday Night and Bowie's Heroes. It's weird to think about but we only listened to music that sounded nothing like To Speak Of Wolves. We didn't want the record to sound like all the bullshit that we'd been hearing for so long. Find Your Worth, Come Home sees the revitalized lineup reaching into darker, heavier and faster territory. It’s an album of rediscovery, and an album that freshly stamps what TO SPEAK OF WOLVES is about, from the title on down."[5]
The title is about we’ve been doing – finding ourselves as a band, proving what are and doing what we do best,” explains drummer and founding member Phil Chamberlain. “This record is something that we’re incredibly proud of. We’ve gotten a lot of compliments about how intense we are live and I don’t think that came across on the first album. This time around we went into the recording process wanting to make sure to capture that intensity, and I think we did that.
— Phil Chamberlain[6]
We couldn’t be more stoked and proud of what we’ve created with this album, We are excited and can’t wait to share it with everyone!
— Phil Chamberlain[6]
