"We didn't want to just do the exact same thing again," Endicott said. "When we made the first album it was intentionally, every song, we intentionally made every song like a dance party, super high energy, really dancy. We wanted it to be like that.
With this one it was like we have all these different sides that we haven't explored a lot yet, so whatever comes out, we're just going to roll with it. We're not going to limit ourselves." There are promising signs for "The Sun and the Moon" as the single, "Time Won't Let Me Go," was recently the most added single at modern rock radio, climbing quickly into the top 30.
With the band now beginning a run of American tour dates, the Bravery is poised to build on that early momentum. The sonic experimentation of the two albums creates some challenges when it comes to how to present the songs live, said Endicott, who noted the current live set is equally split with songs from the two CDs. But he said the band doesn't get too caught up in the sonic details.
"We look at recording and live as two different media," Endicott said. "And the songs, we actually play them pretty differently live. In the studio, it's more about subtlety and layering.
Our stuff is definitely fun to listen to on headphones. The more you hear it, the more things you pick out. On multiple listenings you hear a lot of stuff that you don't hear the first time.
But live, we sacrifice some of that in return for just energy, like pure energy.
