Album Notes

The John Mayer-esque "Time of Day" is a summertime love song that puts listeners on the front porch with their significant other during a breezy summer day, wind chimes and all. On the other side of the emotional spectrum, “Sleep Like You” is a touching, beautifully tragic breakup ballad that has the potential to get you all choked up while remembering details of your last relationship. And seemingly out of nowhere, the synthesized and funky production of the band’s good-times ode to childhood escapism as an adult, “Grant Wants to be a Pirate,” will inspire you to leave the real world for a fantastic life on the Seven Seas.

Keeping their core audience in mind, the band included a brand new version of their seven-year-old, previously unreleased fan favorite, “Leave Me Alone”. The song, which has been a staple at live shows for years, has an explosive anthem-like chorus that ends with “I’ll be back home/writing another song/about how you let me down/when you were high”. As you can see, the band isn’t afraid of edgy lyrics by any means.

The record is riddled with guest musicians including their friends Tony Furtado on banjo and slide guitar, Rick Winking from Montana Rose on lead guitar, Scott Morales on clav and organ, and a vocal cameo from the sultry Paige Rasmussen.
