This video for 'Uptown' was shot throughout the day of our show in Anaheim at The Grove. The song is one of more unique tracks we've done and utilizes both live and digital drums. The song has a definite mood to it and I think the video matches it perfectly. Special thanks to Urban Green Productions for the video edit and Philippe Mathieu for the remix treatment.  - Micah

"Reelin" is the song we feel best encapsulates the direction of our sound on the new album. Big drums, hard-hitting bass and synth, and rocking guitars. Turn it up in your stereo and let it work. Stoked for you to hear it!!

LYRICS:
Needle on my compass is spinning
Imagination is winning
Can't get my head right
I get the feeling that I can't get back
Night driving, no headlights
you've got your reasons
And I know you've got your seasons
But i'm still getting lost with you
But something in the way ya turned your back makes me wanna try to push through

Ooh ya got me feelin right
And I know that you're staring out your window at night.
I'm staring back at you
Too many times I've walked away without telling you
But now I'm telling you

You've got me reeling
High can touch the ceiling
I'm losing my mind and I don't even know the reason
Another way to say that I can't waste another day of my life without hearing your name
Cuz I'm lost up in the light
Sleepless nights
Waiting for the day when i can catch that flight
Another way to say that I can't waste another day of my life without hearing your name

Skip back to the day try my best not to lose my way
Details are kind of fuzzy but the feeling still remains
we met we talked I stared too long you walked
now discombobulated and I don't know what to say
Ooh baby baby you take me on a ride and I know that I'd be lonely here without my foolish pride
and I'm waiting waiting running circles in my mind just to get another chance to tell you

Reelin

Automatic is an album that most completely describes our music. It is eclectic in its songs and covers the full range of styles that we pride ourselves in being able to play. Love in all its forms, is and has always fueled our music: love of life and its mysteries, love for your home, love of nature, and of course love between people. Automatic is no different. The title track "Automatic" is a tribute to our fans. We owe them everything. - Micah Pueschel

Lyrics:

This is that full out souped up automatic just can’t quit let the bass hit right on time
Running hard til the end put you in a panic automatic

I know that life is just a test and I’m trying my best to give it nothing less and
I know I do it all for you when I see you staring back with a love that’s true
Sometimes I don’t know how to feel
I try to soak it in
It’s all so surreal and
I’m just a man with a guitar
Words in my mind
A song in my heart

I wanna give it back to you
I know that you can feel it too

This is that full out souped up automatic just can’t quit let the bass hit right on time
Running hard til the end put you in a panic automatic smile knowing you’ll be mine
Full out souped up automatic can’t quit let the bass hit right on time
Running hard til the end put you in a panic automatic

We’re gone travelling so far
Take us in your car
Bump it in the yard
We grow and bring it back to you
Never losing touch with what we’ve been through
Sometimes we get pulled away
Know that we’ll be back
Sorry for the delay
We are all about the luv
You give us the life that we all dreamed of

And we wanna give it back to you
I know that you can feel it too

Chorus

The time has come
The lights are on high
I wanna know I never thought life was passing us by
And the only certainty is that it’s you and me tonight
And we’re gonna give it all til the curtain call
We’re gonna make it alright

"One Way Track" is one of the most complete songs we've done. It's one of the most lyrically unique songs I've ever written. It's one of my favorite songs  to play on an acoustic as well as full band and it's interesting to see the difference in the two. - Micah Pueschel

Lyrics:

Smoke trails and old wives’ tales whispered in the hills where the west was won
It’s been a long time coming can’t tell where I start and where I am done
Maybe it’s best if we stop thinking
Lately I feel my doubt sinking
You’re not sure but my heart is pure and I gotta let you know something

My love is a one way track
We can hop aboard and not look back
My love can hurt or set you free
Just turn a blind eye to reality
My love can
Love is a one way track
Speeding down the rails and I can’t turn back
My love can’t give you guarantees
Just close your eyes and come with me

I’ve always been the one lost in a dream when I should’ve been serious
You’ve always been the type to hold back even though you were curious
Maybe it’s best if we stop drinking
But we can never let the doubt sink in
I’m not sure and it might be the cure but I gotta let you know something

Chorus

We’re too far gone
It’s too right to go wrong
So get on board
Whatever you feel you act on
It’s a one way track
And no we can’t turn back
Headed out straight never hesitate
And I don’t have to tell you that

Chorus

'Back Around' is one of the songs I'm most proud of on the new album. It's a bit dark and a bit edgy but it possesses an optimistic heart. The standup piano, sparse bass hits and alternating drum beats give it a style that's hard to define. I think that's why we like it so much. - Micah Pueschel

What you said
I can't seem to get it out of my head
Lost in the thoughts of the past when I go to bed
I thought that I'd move on
You'd just become a brand new song
Miscounted the one that was there to be counted on

This wounded heart of mine can't walk the line
Maybe I'll be better off the 2nd time

Waiting for you to come back around girl
So you can save my world
And when the lights go on in the night I'm not lonely
Back around girl
Change my world
And when the lights go off in the night I'm not lonely

I could've been a better man
I could've tried to understand
But I don't know anything
I lost before I began

This wounded heart of mine can't walk the line
Maybe I'll be better off 2nd time

Chorus

Moving through the trees
Rolling through the leaves
Make the wrong move and she'll bring you to your knees

She's out of her mind
Doing just fine
It's in her design
She's doing what she wants and she'll stick you like a porcupine 

Drinking her wine
She'll leave a man blind
But you won't mind
She's doing what she wants and shell stick you like a porcupine

Every time I try to give her my demands
I'm left all alone with quills in my hands 
She's not the type to fall in line cause she's doing what she wants and she'll stick you like a porcupine 

It's in her spines there's no way around it
She's in my mind what can i do about it
But she's so fine I  let her stick me like a...

Chorus

"This track came from a session with our good friend BW back home in Hawaii. We made a few dub beats in our hometown at his studio, mostly just for fun. I played bass, Micah wrote and sang, and Brad played all the other instruments. We recorded the whole thing piece by piece at his house. I really like the addition of the horns on this one, and am really stoked on how it turned out." - Adam 

LYRICS: 

A little story about a boy I used to know
Always fascinated by the dounds on the radio
Late at night with the moon up high
He listened to the bass bump and stared up at the sky singing
'Hold up! I like the way it sounds.
Please Mr. DJ keep the record spinning round
Hold up!  I like I like the way it moves
Spin it like ya got something to prove

Mr. Operator don't stop.
The night is young and the dancehall's hot
Mr. Operator don't quit
Cuz that could be a crime that you don't wanna commit

A little story 'bout a girl around the way
Had that music blasting in her room every day
Late at night when she supposedly slept
Little white lies out the window she crept singing
Hold up!  I like the way it sounds
Please Mr. DJ keep the record spinning 'round
Hold up!  I like the way it moves
Spin it like you got something to prove
