"Music has a way of raising visibility, to turn up brightness. In the woods late at night you think you're fine until you turn on the light, and then you see all the creepy crawlies that want to suck your blood. To me this is what the practice is all about; I'm trying to focus and brighten my light to make sense of everything in the dark” Tristan Allen on Tin Iso and the Dawn, released October 20, 2023.

By putting them to songs, they’ve hopefully escaped any sub-genre confines.” Dylan Moon on Song & Dance, the fantastic, four song EP released June 16, 2023.
