Jeff said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The record’s in the can.
“The way Erik Martensson, he’s the ringleader, the overseer [of Soto’s W.E.T. project], David is that with ELLEFSON-SOTO,” .. “He pulls the songs together, he gets the timing together, he gets the label side, all the industry-side stuff together. I just have to relax and sit back while I’m doing all the million of other things that I’m doing, and I come in and then I dive in and I put my input.
“I love working with David and Andy [Martongelli], who’s our guitar player and also co-writer in the band. And I love the fact that they allow me to be me.”
on the songwriting for the second ELLEFSON-SOTO album, Jeff stated: “It’s weird because the first album, when we did it, it wasn’t supposed to be an album. I was doing songs with David and Andy. We were just writing songs and recording songs during the pandemic. And it turned into, ‘Hey, we’re on to something here. We can’t give these songs to someone else or just use ’em as catalog music. We have something here.’ And that’s what made us put that out as an album. This time around, we actually went in to record and write an album. We didn’t say, ‘Let’s just write songs and see where it goes.’ We actually went in and said, ‘This is the sound. This is what we created on the first album. Now let’s expand on it.'”
