Sumerian Records
Sumerian Records is an American independent record label based in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and London. The label was founded in 2006 by Ash Avildsen. The album is entirely composed of acoustic guitars and basses, pianos, and stringed instruments accompanied by Devin and Andrew Oliver's singing, in place of the screaming, breakdowns, and electronics typically used by the band.
On September 25, 2015, the band embarked on the ''Phases'' tour in promotion of the album. Appropriately, the tour only featured the versions of songs performed on ''Phases'' and did not feature the entire band, leading to departure rumors of keyboardist and unclean vocalist Zach Johnson and guitarist Jimmy Gregerson. Gregerson's departure was later confirmed, followed by Johnson's a short while later.
