Mullins expressed his enthusiasm about the album’s release, stating, “We’re really stoked about how it came out and stoked to give everybody the album as a full package, even though a lot of the songs have had their own spotlight to be digested.” This statement reflects the band’s dedication to delivering not just songs, but a cohesive musical experience that encapsulates their journey and artistry.

He further elaborated on the journey Memphis May Fire has taken, remarking on their hard-earned success: “I think having been a band that didn’t really have much just handed to us, every press opportunity, every tour, every post on social media, it’s exciting and there’s a sense of gratitude attached to it. I feel so thankful.” This sentiment highlights the band’s resilience and gratitude for their dedicated fanbase and the opportunities they have created through their music.

Mullins emphasized the importance of staying busy, stating, “It’s good to be busy and to be focused.” He believes that maintaining a full schedule keeps him grounded and prevents him from dwelling on uncertainties regarding Shapeshifter.
