More about Bloom:
Even in our age of short attention spans, there is something that draws musicians towards releasing 10 song albums: maybe it’s the appeal of doing what our favorite artists from yesteryear did, the ability to put ourselves into a lineage of important albums, or the belief that we are making a larger musical statement beyond any a single piece. Perhaps with all these reasons in mind, we are excited to release Bloom, our full-length debut album of original compositions.

More than anything, this album is a testament to our growth throughout this process, so much of which we owe to producer Wes Corbett. With a sharp ear, encouraging words, and the ability to whip up a tasty stir-fry, Wes brought exactly what we needed to this process; it’s why we paid him the “big banjo bucks,” as he might say. Wes helped us bring on legendary recording engineer Dave Sinko, whose resume includes the albums that made us fall in love with this kind of music to begin with. It’s easy to see why our favorite artists go to him again and again: beyond being an audio wizard, you’d be hard pressed to find a sweeter soul. Though it’s us playing the instruments, this album is as much a result of their careful efforts as it is ours. A special shoutout to Travis McNamara of Arthouse Consulting for helping us run a Kickstarter campaign that, beyond paying for the very item you’re holding, helped us connect with our friends and fans in a truly special way.

While recording, Wes said something that really stuck with us: “Sometimes, a funny thing occurs: we make an album that ends up being better than us, which in turn forces us to grow to meet it.” We feel that’s exactly what happened with Bloom, and we're excited to spend the next few years growing into it as a group. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy.
