With “Wanted” we were wanting to portrait a story of a couple who are getting themselves into trouble. Kind of a Bonnie and Clyde type thing. We wanted it to sound fun and exciting. Bart McKay helped us put this one together, and we are happy with how it turned out.. Crank it up! – Mitch & Kasha (The Orchard)
