On writing “One Eyed Jack Pt. III (Epilogue)”
”One Eyed Jack Pt. III (Epilogue) was an opportunity for me to expand upon the One Eyed Jack mythos. Although I didn’t realize it as I was writing it (well, not really writing it physically. I don’t really do that much anymore and most all the lyrics I just come up with off the top of my head as I play the guitar), I had the lyrics:
And in the court the cat it kneaded
The jester’s arm and left it bleeding
Of reaching hands that aim to strangle
And climbing ivy that meant to tangle
The thickest walls and strongest bricks
Came tumbling down all in a blip
and then I realized that the bricks I was talking about must be the bricks One Eyed Jack was stacking when he hurt his back.” -Gus

Behind-the-scenes: One Eyed Jack Pt. I and II
“Here are some photos taken during the shoot for the ‘One Eyed Jack Pt. I and II (The Interrogation/The Otherside)’ video. The video was shot in my dad’s garage in Hawaii where all the props just happened to be lying around. Next week, we’ll be releasing a short behind-the-scenes video where we discuss our process more in depth.” -Gus

The Recording Of ”One Eyed Jack Pt. I and II (The Interrogation/The Otherside)”
”Here are four photos from the recording of ‘One Eyed Jack Pt. I and II (The Interrogation/The Otherside)’. Here I am in the first photo with my dear friend Sam Woy at Mixart where we tracked the guitar and drums. Then in picture 2 and 3, Mark Lawson and Estée Preda are creating some railroad sound effects with a piece of metal we found at Studio Sud Ouest out in the hallway. Last but not least is a picture of Josh Toal recording the bass line which is one of my favorite parts of the song. Recording is fun!” -Gus
