It\u2019s kind of whatever the listener wants it to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Album sessions were engineered by longtime collaborator Jerry Guidroz, with all drum tracks recorded on-site before each member continued working individually from home studios. And for the first time, NMB worked entirely outside their familiar recording environment, at Eric Gillette\u2019s studio in Tulsa. \u201cIt was strange not being in the usual studio,\u201d George admits. \u201cBut hearing the final mixes, it all came together beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The artwork was created by longtime collaborator Thomas Ewerhard, and L.I.F.T. will be available as a limited edition 2CD digipak (including instrumental versions), a standard CD jewelcase, gatefold 2LP vinyl and as a digital download.<\/p>\n<div
