Hangin’ in the van with our amazing guides from Moor Works.
This is a very old
Shinto shrine on the

W
hen we released Forever at the beginning
of 2014, one of our goals for the record
(something that we felt was a little far-fetched)
was to be able to tour Japan. When we were
offered a tour there it kind of made our year. We
went to nine cities and our experiences ranged
from home-cooked meals from Japanese grandmothers to a week’s worth of being completely
dazed, watching the sun rise in Tokyo. We saw
really old temples with minimalist architecture
during the daytime and cities with crazy, psychedelic sprawls of rotating lights and advertising at
night. It was the most beautiful, dreamlike thing.
We ate the best sushi we’ve ever had at
the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo.
