about

This band started with a series of bedroom/basement recordings and then it blossomed into doing full studio productions. And now, it returns to bedroom and basement recordings, with some living room recordings thrown in as well.
We wanted to redo these songs as a full band in an actual studio, but after a series of delays and a lineup change (not to mention the three years it took to finish these versions of the songs), we thought it would be best to release this album during our lifetimes. That and the fact that it actually sounds better than the first album.
