![]() ![]() This was inspired by "Everything" by Bubblemath. It tells a tale of introversion and what it's like to feel detached from those around you. This song was written over a long period of time by Phoenix. The story is a metaphor for Joe's discovery of prog and the way that prog rewards listeners who choose to take the time to get to know it. The song tells of a magical fungus with life-giving properties that is known by all but only sought out by one individual. The chord progression for the trombone solo was born out of a jam session. "The Fungus of Eats" was written by Donovan, Phoenix, and Joe from a jam session. This song started with Donovan writing "Conception." He wanted the album to start with a bang and give a good introduction as to what the rest of the album would sound like. "Conception" starts at 0:00, "The Fungus of Eats" starts at 1:37, 'Duggle" starts at 4:47, "Journey" starts at 7:31, "Redeem" starts at 11:09, and "Arrival" starts at 13:31. This song is actually split into multiple sections. This led to us calling it a "Suite" because it seemed too disjoint to be one song. The last song written was Kitchen Suite, which was the only song we collaborated on. La Bestia was the first song written, along with another song that we decided to use as a bonus track called "Snow." Then came Once Upon a Time, Jacob's Lullaby, Clandestiny, Outside, and Clown Analysis. Each separate song was written by only one member, with one exception. Our writing process is very individual, not collaborative, which we think led to a wide range of writing styles between songs. The album was mixed by Aaron Young and the cover art was created by Madeline Curtis. Tracking was done in the Preston's basement with one mic and Audacity. Eventually, with the entire rest of the album written and recorded without vocals, Anthony Nunez was brought in to finish vocals on Kitchen Suite, Outside, and Clandestiny. We all really liked old-school prog bands, especially Genesis, and were also heavily inspired by an obscure modern band called Bubblemath.Īs we got more serious, Genna and Jake started to lose interest in the band and started to drift away as vocalists, leaving the core writing group of Joe, Donovan, and Phoenix to work on composition while we looked for another singer. ![]() That's when we decided to write more serious "prog" stuff. We started by writing a series of joke songs that ended up on a short EP that's on Youtube called "Cooks Crew," but soon after, decided we wanted to do something more substantial. We are all cousins, are musically interested, and like a lot of the same bands.
