With this track I challenged myself to write an almost entirely a capella track, recorded and for the most part mixed in one five hour studio session.

This wasn't exactly an easy task, and in the recording process I found the main problems I faced were A) Trying to come up with a vocal melody that made it clear where the harmony would go on its own and B) Trying to keep the song interesting throughout, something that proved even harder without the aid of a band set-up.

I've always been kind of obsessed with the idea of the human voice as an instrument and I really wanted to implement that here. Since recording it I've started gigging with this song and I get a different reaction every time I play it, but hopefully you'll enjoy it.
