Music 4 Tngrs

This is an excerpt from a letter written by Chester French, adressed to their fans, about the making of the album:

We made this album over three years with help from some extraordinary friends and musicians, including Pharrell, Pusha T., Travis Barker, and Greg Selkoe and his amazing team at Karmaloop. It is really really special to us, and we hope that it will be to you, as well.

About a year ago, we decided to buy the record from our former label after they asked us to compromise its creative integrity and make it sound more like the radio. We simply believed that the only folks we owed anything to were our supporters like you, and we wanted to deliver to you a pure, honest, and creative body of work that embodies exactly what we were feeling and thinking when we made it. We named the album “Music 4 TNGRS” in this spirit: because we thought back to when we were teenagers and reminded ourselves of how meaningful it was to us when our favorite artists remained true to themselves and spent all of their energy creating beautiful music for us. That has been our goal here: beauty, musicality, originality, and fun. Not radio hits or marketing tools or indie-pop trendiness. We just wanted to make something that you could listen to knowing that we made it with love for you alone and that we made it as good as we possibly could.
