To celebrate the release of Jestem Krzywym Lasem, I ran a very limited run of CD’s. Like, very limited.

We’re quickly approaching the official release date of Jesyem Krzywym Lasem, and today we’re focusing in on track 4, “Butterflies”. This was a late addition to the record, I actually had already begun mixing the final EP when I felt like I wasn’t completing the thought of the overall record, so I knew I needed to add something new. So on Monday September 27th, I … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track by Track: Butterflies

Continuing our crusade through Jesyem Krzywym Lasem from the previous overview post, here’s our track by track breakdown of the first song on the record, “Quiksand”. Quiksand was the first song I wrote that I realized pretty quickly it didn’t quite fit in with all the other songs I was working on at the time.

But knowing full well that this was just another piece … Continue reading Jestem Krzywym Lasem Track By Track: Driveway
A little ahead of our unplanned schedule, today we dropped our cover of “Seventeen” off of Static Prevails. Check out the official video here: I opted to track Seventeen this week because, well, I’d already been practicing the acoustic version, so instead of going through the arduous task of beginning from absolute scratch, we set our thimble on the board and we were off to … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Seventeen
