“[The references in the song titles] are also like a code for something, like if you meet somebody and you can reference Heathers and they know what you’re talking about, you know you’re probably going to get along. I fall in love with people and characters in film, and we both fell in love with Brian Krakow. We watched My So-Called Life when we were writing and recording the album and when I was a teenager I loved Jordan Catalano, but watching it in my 20s I was like, “Brian! Brian is the star!” He’s so complex.” — Elizabeth Sankey, from Summer Camp
