welcome to the real world


late night on a rooftop in the city. some feeling of grandeur being up high above everything else. I feel guilty cos it's probably some subconscious ego complex, but some days you gotta give in, indulge. if you don't, someone else will just do it for you.

in between discussions of infinite smallness and infinite largeness, Emeri and i cut some drums for a song we have called 'we own the moon'. a while back, Rob showed us a demo of the song - if i remember correctly one of us wasn't sure it was something we should develop - had a kind of country swing not usual(?) for us. we wrote it, toured with it, came home, changed it, recorded it, decided we liked it better how it was and now have just re-recorded it. sometimes that's the way it goes with vacuity.

is between albums a transition period for everyone who makes music? or is it just some bands? is it just me? always feels like a bizarre period. I'm really looking forward to adding another piece to our body of work. there are so many fascinating aspects to creating music and setting it out into the world - the arrangement of sound in time and the cause and effect that has on emotions is just one infinitely small tip of the infinitely large iceberg.

stick around and we'll try to make something great.
