This Love is the last song D.Scott created with The Flash Mob. The lyrics for This Love represent a love letter from D.Scott to his wife, as envisioned by Wayne Alden. D.Scott loved life, loved family and friends, and especially loved his wife. We completed This Love as a tribute to D.Scott, and as a lasting good-bye to the one he loved the most, Kara. 

While mixing This Love in the studio, we were able to dig up the original home studio multi-track recording D.Scott created back in 2009. We grabbed a few of his guitar riffs and mixed them in on this studio version - you can hear a few original guitar lines recorded by D.Scott almost 3 years ago, well before we finished the song!

DJ KAAOS is on the turntables.

This Love

Original construct of the song developed by Wayne Alden, with major influence from Dave Crotser on the bass guitar. It started with a simple two-chord progression, but after layer upon layer, became a complex construct of rhythmic textures and effects. While the end result is fairly aggressive, the original roots of the song were rooted in laid-back dub and dancehall styles. Lyrically, the song strives to express the conflicting emotions of day-to-day life that can sometimes be too overwhelming to process.

Sunlight the Way

Written by Kyle Ingram in Santa Cruz, California in 2010. Definitely inspired by the G.Love/Jack Johnson sound of "Rodeo Clowns." Originally crafted as an acoustic song, the band really helped bring it to life—resulting in the finished sound you hear today. 'Steal Away' refers to Kyle's time spent on at his family's house in Santa Cruz, and embodies the idea of just putting the world on hold and getting away from it all...at least for a weekend.

Steal Away

Initial concept and lyrics by Wayne Alden, with significant contribution from the rest of the group. A brooding, Police-inspired track, Far Too Gone is a tension-filled exploration into the band's harder sound—while still maintaining their attention to harmony and melody. The rocking extended outro is definitely a Flash Mob signature, with Wayne's ripping solo a tribute the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn. 

Far Too Gone

The oldest of the new songs, Make Love was written back when D.Scott was still in the band. Certainly more on the poppy side, the song is intended to be simple, light-hearted and fun. Rumor has it that Kyle's lyrics are based on one of his ex-girlfriends, a local Denver singer/songwriter (who shall not be named). Often times live, the band will mix in Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" as a tribute to the great legend.

Make Love

Written entirely by Matt Fink. Matt not only rocks the drums, but is a major song-writing influence in the band. Featuring intense, penetrating lyrics, Matt drew on past experiences to create a soundscape that captures the angst and intimacy of the most tenuous relationships. Once again, the band rocks out on an extended outro that ultimately caps the new EP with an exclamation point.
