Jorge Palomo — Alan’s brother, bass, guitar
“In 2012, the bass player position at Six Flags opened up. I got a chance to do the whole theme park thing; it was all very by the book. And in the meantime, like little bits and pieces, I had been going up to New York to go and record with my brother. The cool thing about that was, because my brother was always traveling, the only chance that I ever really got to see him was Christmas and every now and then when he would have a DJ set or a show in Austin. It was very, very rare. It wasn’t that we weren’t close, it was just that we never really got the chance to hang out a lot. So when he started talking to me about possibly being part of the next album, I got super excited because not only was it gonna be a new experience, but also I was like, ‘Man, we’re finally gonna get to chill together for a while, and hang out and do the brother thing.’”
W. Andrew Raposo — engineer, Midnight Sun Studio (Midnight Magic)
“The most lasting image in my head has got to be him and his brother on the couch in the studio and the two of them just laughing. There’s something that comes out in siblings — or in what they can bring out in each other — I don’t think even the closest of friends can have that kind of effect on another person.”
