Goodmanson’s involvement came at the tail end of a high-profile list of suitors. When the major labels came calling, as they did in 2010, Moonlight Bride was caught off guard. Copies of “Myths” circulated through the music industry, and Giles’ phone began to ring with calls from A&R reps, lawyers and managers.

“We didn’t even know the industry existed. It was a myth to us. It was just this thing that we heard of,” he said.

The attention, while flattering at first, became a little unnerving. Their music was critiqued outside their immediate fan base, which was too small anyway, they were told. “We want to see how it develops,” Giles recalled one person saying. “We needed to refine our image,” was another criticism. The legendary impresario Kim Fowley once told them they needed to be clean-shaven at all times.

It seemed like the majors were only interested in 12 remakes of “Young Guns,” the upbeat, radio friendly song from “Myths,” Grasham said. “And we didn’t want to do that. We’re not going to do that.”

The attention and criticism wore down their confidence when writing. A period of self-doubt set in. The stakes suddenly seemed higher, the internal barometer of “good” more elusive. “It seems like I spent a lot of time focusing on that when we first started getting a lot of attention. And it just kind of tainted everything,” said Giles. “That’s one of the reasons why we delayed putting anything out. We wanted to make sure that what we put out, we wanted to put out.”

“As an outsider, it seemed like the dynamic was kind of fucked up,” said Dave Maki. Prior to joining in 2011, he had worked with Moonlight Bride for several years. An unofficial fifth member, Maki co-wrote some of the interludes on “Myths” and served as a sounding board for ideas.
