The Record
After a hectic month of tracking, mixing, mastering,
artwork and planning our new EP, Night Owls is ready for
release September 1st in stores, on iTunes and at live shows.
Working with producer Steven Schram (Little Birdy’s Confetti)
had us changing our thought process about song structure and
performance. Taking on a ‘less is more’ attitude, we tracked most of
the record live at Sing Sing studios adding further instruments only if
we thought they were absolutely necessary to the song.
It wasn’t an easy process. Ryan was bed-ridden with the
flu 24 hours before we were set to hit the studio floor. Corey and
Simon followed suit on day one while Brett seemed suspiciously healthy…
Time was saved, however, when we decided to track She
Said and Thunder Without the Storm entirely live - vocals
and all. It was perhaps She Said that drove us out of our funk
and helped us find our studio legs.
After that it was smoother sailing with the pursuit for
the perfect guitar tone ruling our lives. Some creative drum mic
placement here, a little bass manipulation there and Morning Bird,
Shouting Underwater and Bricks and Mortar
were on their way.
Night Owls features five previously unreleased
tracks for your listening pleasure.
The Tour
It is with great pleasure that we announce our Night
Owls EP Launch Tour for September/October. Having spent the better
part of the last two months making Night Owls a reality we’re
more than ready to get out and play a stack of live shows again.
We’d love to see you and
your smiling faces there!
Ryan xx
