Natalie Schepman who founded Joseph with her two sisters Allison and Meegan Closner, says the EP is "a small collection of songs we put together to help ourselves deal with heaviness.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise - How To: Friend, Love, Freefall
- Ltd. Ed. purple-colored vinyl
- Includes Digital Download
Rainbow Kitten Surprise and all five of it's members hail from the mountains of Boone, North Carolina. With chilling harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and introspective lyrics, their genre-defying sound takes influence from artists like Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon as much as Frank Ocean and Schoolboy Q. Independently, they have over 75 million streams across digital platforms, and notched over 45 sold out shows on their first U.S. headline tour. Their engaging and distinct live performances have led to stand out sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Firefly, Shaky Knees, Hangout, Sasquatch, and Austin City Limits among others. The band worked with Grammy award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent) on their Elektra debut, How to: Friend, Love, Freefall.
