The first session at X went without a doubt, beautifully. Matt, Josh and I were pleased as punch to hear how two songs could come together with little to no practice time for the band. In the tracks we could hear each musician’s first impression to the band playing together and it was magnificent. With two songs down we thought the next move would be to gather the funds to try are hands at another session.
As the summer began to wane Matt, Josh and I began brain storming the songs and the musicians that we would be putting together for an August session at Studio X. We were lucky enough to get Kanaan back up from Portland on the drums. This time around we added Ryan Smith on the piano, Katie Scheoflin (always misspelling this) on the bass clarinet, and my cousin Tyler Jensen on the bass.
The session was long and a bit tiring at points but the soundscapes created by this group of musicians was no doubt amazing. It is incredible to hear a handful of brilliant musicians reacting and adding to your not so brilliant song.
With the session done we await the genius of Josh Evans to mix the six songs. This fall there should be a release.
We love you!
