Hvordan har du det?  (That’s Norwegian for “How are you today?” to all you English speakers out there)

I’ve been wanting to release a couple of demos that were recorded back in December by myself and Adam with the help of our friends Mark Cleaver of The Vicious Kisses and Brian Harvey from Pine Language.  We spent the cold winter day in Mark’s grandma’s house in the logging town of Philomath, OR.  It was a fun day that we used to get some really splendid ideas down.  This isn’t anything like what the eventual tracks will sound like, but it was merely a couple of one takes.  What I’ve included is two songs that are up for your listening.

Motown Sound DEMO -Although this isn’t the actual title of the song, it’s a working title so we can recognize it in rehearsals and upcoming setlists.  We’ve recently revamped the song and it sounds fantastic!  Listen to that Magnus air organ Adam brought back from Austin.  It sounds killer!

Younger DEMO – This is one of my favorites to play right now.  This is a very early stripped down version.  I was writing lyrics on the spot and it turned out alright.  Everything was a one take.  Brian Harvey is playing the lead on 12 string.

Enjoy the new ideas!  There’s always more to come!

Cheers -

Eric
