Speaking about the forthcoming album release and the inspiration behind the project, Drunken Kong commented:
“Our new album, “Where We Start” was built around an idea and inspiration that came from our new stage in life, which was parenting. Having a child, was something new to us and we wanted to create an album which directly reflected and captured various feelings and emotions we had at different moments”.
