So you planned it out. You got the flowers. You’ve picked up the groceries and printed out the best recipe for filet mignon you’ve ever tasted. You already had a vintage Pinot Noir on hand – a blessing left over by your brother when he and his wife visited last week before they took off for a weekend getaway in Cape Cod, but not before … Continue reading No apologies necessary for Lenny Williams’ “Baby I’m Sorry”

“The Clearing” Gets Clearance As CF Gets Closure

It happened not once but twice – or was it three times? “The Clearing”, initially released under the Crooked Forest moniker was officially digitally released on March 13th 2022 after being featured on the “Tape Deck” digital demo tape, but it wasn’t long after before it was pulled in solidarity with Neil Young’s campaign against the service due to their unwavering willingness to support disinformation … Continue reading “The Clearing” Gets Clearance As CF Gets Closure

Jaimee Eat World, Lyrics

Jaimee Eat World Release: In The Same Room

We’re taking some risks this year with our upcoming cover song releases starting with an ominous and somewhat creepy “In The Same Room” that had us experimenting with synth pads, weird string instruments and peculiar vocal effects. I’m really not a keys player (I literally have to google chord shapes every time I’m about to try something on these recordings) but I have to say … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: In The Same Room
