Our Full-Length Debut Album is Here… September 2015

A 103% Funded Indiegogo Project has left us so tremendously grateful. The work of recording practice, writing more instrumentation, and putting the microscope on each song begins. We commit to making the most spectacular, heartfelt album we can – and we are so overwhelmed at your support with it. We simply cannot thank our Backers enough.  Check back to this page for updates as this project comes to life.

Pass It On,

Trina, Zac, Tim, & Steve

May 5 Recording Update:

We are about 75% done the recording process!  We dove in for a solid week of recording (between gigs in Philly and NYC) and managed to lay down a major foundation for the project.  Our vocalists even came in that week, and impressed our engineering wizard with their skills.

Steve hard at work

Stage-Vintage says hellooo, studio

Renata, cheese!

Bass ‘n Chips

Phil in a rare moment when he wasn’t saying the notes are too high ; )

That mysterious man is named Mark. We think his ears may be made of pure gold…

Many shared meals and misspelled take-out orders made the time fly,  but we still managed to find time to goof off.

Triana at Chipotle. Guacamole means forgiveness.

Glock break (say that 3x fast)

Trena at Starbucks. Not awake enough to care.

“Interstellar Mode”

June 1 Update

After hours of writing out parts, we brought in strings to add their magic on three of our songs.

So amazing to finally hear it outside of the painful MIDI sounds…

Rebekah graces us with viola and a touch of violin

Our common fondness for the Korean bibimbap bowl = full bellies all around.

Sarah’s ready to kill it

So excited to play that it may or may not have gotten awkward

Sign of the times

June 22 Update

Indiegogo Projects are so complex. It’s amazing to have a powerful forum online to fundraise, but there’s a tremendous amount of planning beforehand, a huge project (you know, an album) in the middle, and there are a whole lot of perks to sort out on the back end. A lot.

Work began to fulfill perks even before our campaign had ended. The first Funders to receive perks had snagged tickets to our 8×10 or Germano’s shows a couple months back. Since then, we had some eager singers join us in the studio for the “gang vocals” perk. We planned to make it a great time for them, but they really brought the party to us. We LOVED every second. (PS – if you’re waiting for your shirt, some signed drumsticks, maybe even a song – the band’s totally on it).

Tim gives us the fish eye treatment at Germano’s

Green room at the 8×10 listening to Corey Henry’s crew across the hall play a wild round of Connect Four

The ladies of the “be a studio singer” perk had SOOOO much fun

Time to add those gang vocals

A toast to knocking that one off the bucket list

July 5 Update

Photo shoot at a local site featuring some “modern day ruins” with the amazing Katie Vanarendonk.  Sneak an early glimpse ’cause you’ll have to wait to the see the rest…

August 5 Update

Our generous international supporters got their choice of cover song for a perk.  We were quite happy to oblige with a dose of French romance.

September 24 Final Update!

The project is done, the album release concerts completed.  We are grateful and, frankly, exhausted!

Here’s what our fans have said about the album thus far:

…Stunning and intelligent

…a cathartic musical experience to engage in many important emotions and process them in a filter of beauty

…so cohesive… it makes the album itself, not just the songs, a work of art!
