Flesh World take more risks: The San Francisco band, featuring former members of Brilliant Colors and Limp Wrist, discuss their debut album.

I’d rather just talk about what were here to talk about—how we produce and our workflow.’ It was the first time I’d ever really come back at someone like that.”
