Evolving

If there's one constant in this process of writing an album, it is change. Jason and I have been trying to nail down some general concepts and themes to shoot for, and I think we are generally on course with what we have in mind. It might be interesting to start documenting specific songs as they develop. Most of the newer ones have working titles, so I suppose the first step is naming unnamed songs so it doesn't get confusing to look back on. Overall I'd say musically the main influences I can hear are folk, old gospel, and old punk.

We're on itunes!

So I submitted our music to CDbaby.com last December and paid the fees for digital distribution (which would allow for the songs to be purchased through several outlets including itunes.) I was told it would be a couple of weeks until the songs were on itunes, but it turned out to be quite a bit longer than that. I've searched itunes for our music every once in a while, and low and behold today they were there!

First Post

We have embarked on a musical journey of sorts, and we thought it might be interesting to do some documenting along the way. What started as recording some Christmas songs for friends and family has evolved into recording more Christmas songs for friends and family. We don't really know where this project will end up, but we are enjoying the ride so to speak. Follow us if you feel so inclined.
