An official video for “The Optimist” (feat. Conquer Divide’s Kia Taylor) can be found below. Guitarist and producer Brian Vodinh said the following about that:

“We talked about touring and recording and basically nerded out and hit it off really well. Then, we mentioned the idea of a collaboration, which is where everything started. We thought it would be fun to give it a new twist since it has been out there for a while. Kia’s name came up and I’ve always enjoyed female vocalists and I thought it would be especially cool to inject her voice into our style of music. She had the right vibe and a great attitude and she really went for it. It was a fun, painless process and it came out even better than I expected it to.”

He also confirmed that the band have more new material:

“There was such a massive catalog of built-up material we went through – great demos that have everything on them except the vocals — that it was really hard to come up with the right songs that flowed together in the right way. There are a dozen other songs that are really strong and just need to be finished up, and we kept going back and forth, bouncing from one song to another for all eternity to try to figure out what to use. In the end, we used the ones Jesse [Hasek] felt the best about vocally, but there’s plenty of great stuff left to work with.”
