Trivia / Red Vox

• Based on a True Story: "Vomit in the Ball Pit" is inspired by a scene from Vinny's childhood where he wasn't allowed to enter a ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese because someone had puked in it. He remembers peering in and being revolted by the sight, though not to the extent that he required therapy like in the song.
• Creator Breakdown: Vinny admitted as such regarding Kerosene, stating that it was made primarily as a form of self-therapy, comparing the nature of it to Low.
• Colbert Bump: Received a minor one thanks to an interview Sonemic (the parent organization behind review aggregator site RateYourMusic) conducted with Vinny shortly after the release of Realign. This ended up being more of a bane to the band than a boon though, as the new attention it brought was apathetic at best towards Realign and the band as a whole.
• Doing It for the Art: The band's apparent modus operandi; Vinny confirmed that Red Vox doesn't consciously attempt to make music that gets them rich and/or famous, so long as it's music that they themselves are happy with and that other people can enjoy as well. Vinny also cites an aversion to becoming too famous, citing both the example of Kurt Cobain's struggle with fame and his own experiences with the downside of popularity as a well-known Twitch streamer.
• Release Date Change:
  • As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic impacting the band's ability to record and pressing plants' ability to manufacture vinyl records for the LP release, Realign was delayed from early 2020 to July 10, with double-LP copies not shipping until October.
  • Due to unspecified delays with producing the album, Visions was pushed back from its planned 2021 release date to early 2022.
• Refitted for Sequel: According to the band's Bandcamp page for the Lost for a While EP, "Patiently Undone" was a track initially conceived during the Another Light sessions; the group continuously reworked it before ultimately completing it for the EP. Likewise, "Flat on Your Face" and "Rather be Lonely" were outtakes from the Realign sessions repurposed for Lost for a While.
• Surprise Release: Kerosene was announced immediately after its release of Bandcamp, with the band making no prior indication that they were recording a follow-up to Another Light.
• Word of God:
  • Vinny spoke about some songs from Another Light during a Space Engine stream, revealing various details about the album and the songs on it.
  • At around here, Vinny talks about "I'm So Happy". The ordeal/idea of a person telling you or someone about something nice that happened, and being indifferent towards it.
    Vinny: Have you ever been like...? Where someone tells something nice that happened and you're like "Oh man... Well good for you. Dick."
• Working Title: According to Word of God, Another Light was originally going to be titled Settle for Less; like Another Light, the original name is derived from a song on the album. The name was changed because Mike misremembered the album name and referred to it by its opening track, which Vinny decided was a better title.
