In April, the group won their first-ever Grammy for best dance/electronic recording for their song \"Alive\" from their album \"Surrender.\" The group was nominated twice before that win -- at the 2020 Grammy Awards for best dance/electronic album for their third studio album \"Solace\" and best dance recording for their 2018 hit \"Underwater.\"

\"This year has definitely been a whirlwind,\" Hunt reflected. \"We played some of the best shows of our life. We toured through Europe, we played in South America, we put on our own festival, Sundream, in Mexico… Winning the Grammy was really surreal and I still can't really process that.\"

He added, \"It's nice to reflect and take it in and process some of these amazing experiences that we're really lucky to go through and that we get to live our dream.\"

Offstage, the group said they're also prioritizing fitness, health and self-care in order to give their fans the best show possible each night.

\"Whilst writing the last record, 'Surrender,' we had a good chance to re-vision how we want to operate as friends first, how we want to go about making music and rediscovering that love for music and then how we want to tour,\" George said. \"And a lot of that came back to us looking after ourselves a bunch more.\"

He continued, \"We have our trainer on tour basically, and he's taking us through breath-work before we go on stage, we do ginger shots and we do an ice bath to sort of help [us] calm down a little bit. So yeah, it's a new way of touring, but it's a much more sustainable way than the regular rockstar.\"

Through it all, George, Lindqvist and Hunt say creating music for their fans has been a meaningful experience -- especially after learning from some that their music has brought healing to their lives in some way.

\"We're making music in a therapeutic way for ourselves and we're sort of putting ourselves as the audience members,\" George said. \"And then you've like put it out into the world and you hear this communication back to you, how it's helped someone else. And you know, that's a huge thing.\"
