Frontman Steven Battelle says: "I wrote Scarlet Letter Rhymes while submerged under water in a hotel swimming pool in Finland. I fleshed it out in a dream where I was the captain of a flying pirate ship, caught in turbulence and crashed into another time. When I awoke I found lying next me a book first published in 1850 called The Scarlet Letter. The video has absolutely nothing to do with any of this!"
