As some of you might know, Lauren and I have been working in the studio over the last year with our good friend and fellow songwriter Nate Graham. The project began as a demo of 5 songs with Jabin Baxter (drums) and Jonathan Gascho (bass) and after our prospects for the demo fell through, we decided why not make melonade out of melons! So we turned a 5 song demo of songs just by Lauren and I, into a 12 song ep of original tunes written by Nate, Lauren, and myself.
What has been really authentic about these recordings is the live nature of all of the tunes. As you can see in the picture above, all of the acoustic tunes were performed live in the studio. It seems like everybody's trying to get that "nashville" sound these days, but for the three of us circled up in a small sound room, the big "nashville" production was the furthest thing from our minds.
We set out to make a disc that was true to who we are: three simple songwriters who love laughter and musing over melodies. It's a new approach for all of us, but it feels more real and appropriate to the music inside. That's why we've decided to call the new album "Transition". Check back for an exact release date set for late November.
