World Peace  (Improv)

The idea was to put myself in someone else's head and express their deepest and most personal thoughts. And be as loud and dramatic as possible of course. This one felt good to make. Don't think! Let the music happen!

Guitar/Vocals: Brennan Clark

Crystals And Dreams (Improv)

This one is pretty cool. I love the feel it takes for the second half with the keyboard sounding like a giant blanket slowly falling on you and Griffin's guitar guiding you along. Perfect bed for the vocals. I wish I didn't stop the recording so soon

That funky jamming. Griffin leading the pack. Greg unleashing on those drums. You can definitely hear some  influence from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in here.

Stories That We Tell (Improv)

Hit record on the iPhone Voice Memo. Put it in the middle of the floor. Let music happen. No editing. All improv. We've been having some fun times. There are many imperfect moments, but we're just being human. I'm mainly posting these so all the people involved can hear them again, but I thought the general public might like them too. Enjoy!
