In the Artist's Words

Veteran SF indie rock outfit returns with a sumptuous set of spiritual pop hymnals, in the tradition of George Harrison, Richard Hawley, Spiritualized, and Gene Clark. Painstakingly assembled from over two years’ worth of recording sessions and augmented by a heavenly host of horns, strings, analog keys, chiming guitars and a makeshift choir.

Recorded and mixed in the historic Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco. Mixed by hand (no automation) on a vintage Neve 8038, while utilizing vintage outboard gear, an echo chamber, plate reverbs, and tape delays for processing.

The 10 songs on Tough Trip Through Paradise explore hope for the future, lessons learned in the past, the importance of relationships, and well, humanity as a whole.
