We quietly wrote, recorded & produced 30 new songs (20 originals & 10 covers) in our dwelling studio The Magick Room After 2022 got here to a fitful finish with two years of residing by way of the chaos of a worldwide pandemic and the politics which accompanied it, like most of America, we have been mentally exhausted.

Reflecting on the previous 20 years, we additionally realized that we weren’t the identical folks we have been after we lived in L.A. Like artists do, we modified and grew. Not desirous to revamp the previous musically or relive these songs emotionally, we felt it was time to chop free, kick off the mud and recharge our artistic batteries.

We took our time recording as we wished to recapture our rock love of collaboration and reemerge reinvigorated with a forward-thinking, optimistic new perspective and method to our songwriting with themes addressing who we at the moment are as Gen Xers versus who we have been after we first met 23 years in the past.

With age comes introspection and with that in thoughts, SWTEVL doesn’t spell the tip of a musical relationship however reasonably the start of a brand new one as we transfer openly into our subsequent chapter, with out apology.”
