It is officially October 1st 2011, which means our latest EP release, Sleep to Grow, is now available for listening and owning. Last winter, we recorded this EP with Dave Carswell and John Collins (JC/DC) over the course of a snowy few weeks while reunited in Vancouver.
There is no doubt that after becoming a six (7? 8? 9?) piece we experienced some growing pains, but it was during the course of recording this EP that we began to unearth what kept us together as both musicians and friends, despite being separated by the entirety of the Canadian prairies for most of the year.
As JC continually suggested “faster” during pre-production, the songs began to exist in the moment, rather than ideas living in our e-mails or daydreams intended to flatter our idols. Transitions became faster, and there was no time to be concerned with what we had planned to happen. It became a party with friends, family, and lovers making their introductions for the first time.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported us, let us drift away, and answered when we called for help. Without you this never would have happened.
