WE’RE A TOP TEN BAND BABYYYYYY!!!

Aight, here we go with the longest post 😂😂😂

A week ago, we put out the biggest record of our careers ‘Everything’s On Fire But I’m Fine’.

We just wanted to take a minute to thank every person that worked on this with us in the last year.

So, our gratitude goes to:
@alexcoppmusic for producing, mixing and basically being our fifth member
@samguaiana for mixing
@kalajianofdoom at Rogue Planet for mastering
@camphausmedia for teching the album vibes and making all our music videos and short form content
@philballaam for designing the artwork
@loztogs for shooting the album artwork photos
Alessandra D’Alesio, Dom Jones and the rest of the @virginmusicuk team for putting up with Ande’s chaos (sorry for the numerous near heart-attacks)
Matt Clarke and the team at @kmgmt and @adventurecatrecs for all the advice and help on the campaign
Mark James and the team at @turnthepageldn
Oliver Bergmann and the team at @oktober_promotion
Andy Farrow at @amfpublishing
Our agent @imtotallyshaw for the million phone calls throughout the campaign
Alb, Callum and the gang at @hashtag_warehouse, @wackynwild in the US and Teri-Lea and @junglemerchandise in Australia for shipping thousands of orders.
@slowlyslowlymusic for the sick feature on Bathroom Floor
@jxwja and Alx C for the dope remixes

And finally, thank you to every single person that purchased an album or streamed a track! You guys make our dreams come true!

I’ve been to well over 50 concerts in my life and seeing @basicprinter tonight was by far a favorite of my experiences. I soaked in the show like a sponge seeing electronic genius Jesse Gillenwalters right here in Akron, Ohio 🖤 (Well, technically Kenmore) but that’s where I was born and initially raised so even better! :-)

2022. What a year. I watched my best friend get married. Beautiful friends living out their dreams. KRUSH. Had my choreography on stages. Met my bestie in Nashville. Taught a lot of dance classes at my second home and watched students grow in and out the dance studio. Grew a lot. Learned A LOT. Trained in new styles and got comfortable being uncomfortable. Tears were shed. Sweated a lot. Loved hard. Moved. New friendships. It was a year of discovery and dipping my toe in the water for what I am capable of. Here’s to be cozy in 2023. Keep looking up. Breathe. You got this 💪😮‍💨🌅🧡✨🌱

There’s a lot of special people and not everyone is in there but here are just some beautiful moments throughout the year. Still reflecting but feeling grateful for everyone in my life. You are so loved 🥰 Xoxo Miss Rachael 💕✨😘
