Hey guys!
We finished up school mid-May and all headed to our respective hometowns (from Santa Barbara, California to Rangeley, Maine). Being in different parts of the country makes it pretty difficult to play music together. Before we finished the school year, we demo'd out all 11 songs that will be on our new album. Since then we've been listening to the demos over and over and talking about what we want the album to feel like, ideas for song titles and the album itself, how we want to record etc. The process for this album has been much more deliberate and involved than Redivivus. Having an entire summer to pour over it and pray about it allows us to be more intentional. We're also able to sit on ideas and let them develop. Redivivus came together beautifully but maybe a little too easily because none of us knew we were recording an album at the time. All of the new songs for this album were written with the album in mind rather than the album being molded to fit the songs. These four months listening to the demos and talking about ideas will allow us to have a very good grasp of what we want to accomplish once we head into the studio in August. We're very excited for you to hear what we're working on and we're sorry that we aren't able to play at all this summer. But I think it gives us a good chance to step back and really think through every single song on this record and its purpose.
If you didn't know, we now have physical copies of Redivivus. You can go to glassamerica.bigcartel.com and buy a copy and I will personally ship it to you.
