Last year, around this day, we were driving across America to a cabin in the dry woods of Prescott Arizona, to start a new record. We wanted to leave winter, to leave what we were familiar with, to go to a place where we felt sunlight on our face, a great expanse when we looked out, roads that we had not walked, a sky that was new. Just us three, chopping fire wood, taking hikes, cooking meals. We didn’t attempt to “write” anything – we spent a lot of time breaking down barriers of self scrutiny, judgement, expectations, pushing to be raw and vulnerable in front of one another, focusing on process rather than goal. The intention was to create a space where we felt supported by one another, safe to let anything out, encouraged to see an idea through to the end, a conscious attempt to cultivate curiosity because it’s so easy to let it sleep.

Today we get to begin sharing the songs from this process, and we’re very happy/nervous/excited to be doing so. The record is called “Deep In The Iris”, and it’s out 04/28 on Arbutus Records and Flemish Eye. The first single, “Miniskirt”, and its lyrics are below.

Much love goes out to all those who helped us make this record happen.

What a fun little factoid! I lived in Prescott for 3 years and participated in a wilderness backpacking trip that changed my life. I guess Prescott changes lives!
