"Colder"

Whats New

The title is inspired by the world we live in today.  Shackled and tethered to technology, it's difficult to see what's really going on in the world.  A friendly reminder that you should go outside, spend time with your family, and remember to smell the roses.

Digital Chains

An instrumental rock ditty that we enjoyed playing a lot.

Lebo - drums
PP - bass
Tom - guitars

Laybow - AC Cheesy

Cast of Characters:
Witches of the Alamo-- @witchesofthealamo – James – vocals, mix, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–  rhythm and solo guitar
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four-string fretless bass

This classic Grateful Dead song has been a favorite of JJ's since his playing in a bar band days, decades ago. Therefore, he decided to come up with a perfect, lively skeleton on his piano for us to use for it, and shared it with us. Josh, being a Deadhead as well, jumped on the chance to play Phil's part on his four string fretless bass. Ken, who isn't necessarily a Deadhead, but can play most anything, jumped on with his driving drums around the same time as Josh added his bass line, as they went back and forth a few times before getting the rhythm section settled. 
  Stephen came along next with his cunning rhythm guitar, follow closely by his solo for the solo section. JJ added his solo for that section right after Stephen had laid his part down. Then we turned it over to James to add his rich, accent-drenched vocals. 
  When we had all the parts down, we turned it over to James (or Stephen) to produce and mix for us, which he did in expert fashion.
  This song was a lot of fun for the Deadheads in the band and non-Deadheads alike to record. This is also the second collaboration done by James and the Eclectic Collective, and we all enjoyed having him on this project.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Dream Runner ’89 – Retro Dreamwave / Synthwave / Vaporwave Escape

Dream Runner ’89 throws you straight into the glowing heart of the 80s digital dreamscape — drifting between dreamwave haze, neon-soaked synthwave basslines, and soft vaporwave echoes. 🌌✨

Built for night drives, arcade memories, and drifting through imagined cities, this album blends shimmering pads, VHS textures, warm chorus synths, and drifting retro melodies that feel both nostalgic and otherworldly. It’s the sound of neon horizons, forgotten dreams, and a future that never was.

Let the runner in you take the wheel. 💜🏙️
