So, some of you are probably wondering why in the world there is an a cappella choir singing Calling On You on the new EP. Yeah, about that.

When I walked into Big Blue Meenie Studios in Jersey City on Day 1 of our projected four-day recording process for the EP, Jeff asked me if I might like to take a crack at arranging an a cappella version of COY and having some friends try and record it. I had done a lot of a cappella work in college, and I really thought those days were behind me, but a cappella is kind of like the mafia; it keeps pulling you back in.

One afternoon of rehearsal and a few late nights later, we came out with what you hear on the EP. I'd like to thank all the singers for learning the music in no time at all and for making themselves so available on such short notice, Neha for getting the pizza, Tim for letting us do way more in the studio than he had probably bargained for, and Joe for staying up with me and snipping this thing until it sounded pretty.
