At first their instinct had been to try and separate their relationship from their music but now the pair are being open about the inextricable link between their marriage and their work as Moon Panda. The \u2018MAKE WELL\u2019 EP sees them reflect on where they are, what has happened along the way, and what needs to happen before they can look towards the future.<br><br><em>&#8220;All in all it\u2019s about healing, both together and by ourselves. It\u2019s been the toughest year yet.

Myers explains:\u00a0<em>\u201cI started this song during one of the 3-4 month stints when Gustav and I were stuck apart from each other in our home countries. The time difference made it tough to connect and I found myself having trouble sleeping and getting a little anxious. I wrote the bass and lyrics to this song as a way to calm myself down and find some inner peace. When we were together again, we turned it into a full song. I still feel a sense of inner peace every time we play it.\u201d<\/em><br><br>In their case, having time with the one you love has been easier said than done.\u00a0<em>&#8220;We\u2019ve had (and continue to have) a hell of a time staying in the same country,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0Myers continues,\u00a0<em>&#8220;spending many months apart with no clue when we\u2019ll be able to be together again has been a huge part of both our relationship and our music.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>To Moon Panda, these difficulties felt mirrored by some of the wider issues in the world at the moment,\u00a0<em>&#8220;breaking into pieces and putting up walls.
