A self-produced effort, The Human Condition was actually completed just days before lockdown, at bassist Jon Lawhon's own Monocle Studios.

“There was a real urgency and fear of the unknown during those sessions – it was a scary time,” remembers drummer John Fred Young. “Every song on this album tells a story of the experiences we all go through – our happiness, our struggles, and how we have to adapt.”
