Speaking of the track, singer Mike Sugars says:
“I literally can’t believe George is on this song. He gave one of my favorite vocal performances I’ve ever heard. This is it—the title track. The centrepiece, if you will. There’s callbacks in this song to older tracks of ours, and if you’ve stuck around with us and put the pieces together, this song really does our past material justice and gives peace to those tracks. I knew going into this I wanted the songs to be about love, and I knew the first time I heard the demo of this, it would be about my wife; who is the cornerstone of my joy. It was the first song I wrote lyrics for on this, and when I showed it to Greg for tracking, he said, “Oh, this is done. No edits.”I knew it had to be the title track”.
The 6 track EP continues its complex, uncompromising and emotionally charged sound with guest features from Colin Young (Hardlore podcast), George Clarke (Deafheaven), and Crystal Pak (Initiate)
”You’ll Know It Was Me is a short record about love. Love looks like a lot of things, and each track touches on it in its own way.” says Mike Sugars. “People close to me have heard about me wanting to make this kind of record for a long time. I just hadn’t grown enough to realise the dream of it, and I knew it had to be a Church Tongue record. I’ve been with this band, these guys, for the majority of my life now. I’ve made records with other bands, and so have the other guys, but this idea felt sacred to my beginnings. I knew this record was in us, was who we are, and I’m honoured to have made it with my brothers.”
