With Sunburned, Gorman and Cochran have turned their attention inward to their songwriting and studio craft, creating their most fully-realized and ambitious work yet - one that's full of immediate songs that update and revolutionize the band's approach to making music. There are rich keyboard and programmed percussion textures now populating their songs, as well as soaring anthemic choruses, slathered with hefty doses of fuzz. "On our first record, we were very live-focused and wanted to make sure whatever we were writing was translated in person," says Gorman. "Without that crutch, we could be more adventurous and take more risks. We definitely weren't timid in the studio."
