The decision to go our separate ways was mutual, due to creative differences and a desire to focus on mental health. We wish the best for Kate and their future projects and deeply value the memories we had with them in Vial as a four-piece. Keep up with Kate on their personal Instagram account and thank you for respecting all involved's privacy during this time."
