The beginning of the year was spent ruminating in the studio, as the band worked from scratch to understand it's sound. Playing songs on acoustic guitar can have two distinct proposes; either it's the artists desired tone for a piece, or a means to develop a song into something bigger. When you're just a guy and his guitar, it's easy to be realized in that former light. I never intended for my songs to stay in the style of acoustic, I just needed to get them written down.
