it's been a good day in the Waco studio. i did some recording, some mixing & some writing. i'm truly a lucky guy to be working with Chris. he's incredibly talented & every new song idea brings a new challenge. example.....there's a song he wrote & recorded back in December and it's just been sitting there collecting dust because we were so busy working on other songs. well, that changed today & i'm really excited about releasing it. lots of new songs will be coming soon.....

thanks for listening/reading/supporting,

to answer the question, we've looked into it...but it's so damn expensive! someday, perhaps...but not for the next record, unfortunately.

new songs (Gaze Up/Life Anew) have been posted! here's our blog post about the songs....
GAZE UP:

(Chris) Beautiful little number Matt sent during a very prolific writing session while I was away on vacation in April. This is the first song I worked on when I got back in May and what I remember from that session was feeling like my musical senses were all rusty after nearly 3 weeks of not playing anything. One of my favorite parts in here is the line “birds perched on a wire.” Matt says this song pre-dates the song “On A Wire” which was done last year I think. Another part I love is Matt’s leads he plays mid song. Makes me want to get a whammy bar for my guitar!

(Matt) This song had an interesting journey. It was written while Chris was away on vacation & I wasn't 100% certain that we'd ever finish it because I thought it was too long, to be honest. Once he got back & sent me his additions, it sounded totally different & I was adding parts up until the last minute. I'm really glad that we finished it!!

LIFE ANEW:

(Chris) I remember Matt being really excited about this song. It started off with a demo that I think had elements of what you hear on this final version? I had suggested he build a song around those particular elements and this is what he came back with! I had a lot of fun trying to figure out drums to this song, especially the break down mid-song. The two leads are something I’d not tried before, at least not all at once.

(Matt) Chris is right....a lot of those original elements are still present in this recording. I did another lead vocal take b/c neither one of us felt like the original take really fit the tone of the song. The bridge was an improv & we really made it work somehow!! Love his double solo....easily my favorite part of this song!!


NEWS!!!!!
Lots of exciting (album/EP/show) news coming very soon!!!! As always, thanks for your support!!!

Matt & Chris

Thanks : )
I like it too. Love Matt's deep accompanying vox on it.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say, love the new tunes. Gaze Up is lovely and dreamy, I listened to that one while I had my coffee and Life Anew was awesome too (my fav of the 2) got me up and doing my housework.
I love music that takes you away and that's what your music does, tells a story. Love it guys, good stuff.
