cicadas.  NPR spring fundraiser song my brother and I were asked to do for WVXU and WGUC in Cincinnati, OH. Garageband.

50 Ways to Duck and Cover (NPR mix)

Joe Cocker's Marjorine, for the hell of it.

Marjorine

A rousing little number dedicated to the overactive posterior of our Little Maisie.

Wiggle and a Tiggle

"is there something going 'round?  Or is this twilight?  
Laid back groover that goes about where you think it might!  JSA

Is This Twilight?

"Beautiful sonic palette...sparkling performances!"  Benj Clarke

"Damn! That is one huge, powerful, beautiful track! Nicely done! You guys are really hitting on all cylinders."  Sam Womelsdorf

"It's an exorcism, an exhortation, and an act of contrition and celebration.  It's a church song, if your church is located somewhere in the swamps of deep humid despair."  Scott Hess

Hope This Reaches You

Without my knowledge, Jordan put together a song for me to sing.  It was my birthday gift, and I appreciated his keeblin'.  I never imagined I would sing this song, but I'm glad it happened.  It's your basic country jazz lounge piece, with some low as hell vocals, but we think it came out pretty cool.  Jason

Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue, Slim Solace Live At The Regal Beagle

Featuring the blues harp of 46 Long’s Blake Taylor, Old & Gross is the age old story of when a person’s age reaches “old.”  We were delighted to have the esteemed Reverend Stokely “Chubby” Solace chime in with his inimitable presence as well.  “But you don’t want to know, because we’re old and we’re gross!”

Old And Gross

What is left when the final notes fall away?  When the party is dispersed?  Silence.  And it’s a bitch.

Silence

We're always looking for songs to play, even among the songs we could never play.  Here, we've run a masterpiece through our bent sensibilities, and emerged with a jumpy number we hope you'll love..  We simplified the math, and we took some shortcuts, while trying to convey the tune.  Why?  It tickles.

Frame By Frame

Both fans of Thomas Dolby, we took on this elaborate project months ago. Switching to a new computer midway through(still Garageband), we came closer and closer to achieving the result we heard in our heads. The final product is a theatrical hook-bomb straddling the 80s with today. Less of a performance and more like a construction project, we watched the scaffolding go up and eventually come down to reveal the building. This is the building Ezekiel saw.

One Of Our Submarines

Almost an accident, the chord progression and alters were in place, with Jase's lyrics written on napkins and receipts all over. Heavy hits on chorus and growing parts. Unexpected key change worked perfectly. A few variations and it's this for now. Beautiful ending.

Unteachable

Themes of exploration set to a dramatic backdrop, Drilling sees the boys piloting a giant Seussian noise float through terrain both bright and dark. Volume and repetition highly encouraged.

Drilling The Innerground

We started recording some songs earlier in 2021.  Of course we have experience, but this a new burst of learning and execution.  GarageBand has been our friend, we have had many laughs putting these tracks together, please enjoy them, and we'll look forward to hearing what you think.
