West Virginia musicians, Bob Workman and Brian Cottrill had played in different bands together before. But they wanted to go in a very different and unique direction and decided their best lineup for a new band would be just the two of them. “I got an electric sitar, and we started coming up with some very different sounds, similar to 60s psychedelic rock made by The Beatles and The Byrds,” says songwriter/guitarist Brian Cottrill. “And the songs were not just weird musically, they were also very different lyrically from anything we had ever done. The songs are more existential and introspective, as well as being a weird mix of awareness of self and the universe around us.”
Drummer Bob Workman says, “I was playing tablas and congas and sitar samples while Brian was playing 12 string electric and acoustic guitars and backwards guitars. We went on a journey similar to when The Beatles went to India, but we did it from the recording studio at home. We also got a little more orchestral with some strings and tympani drums.” In the process, the duo have made the most unique album of their careers, completely unlike anything they have ever done.
Workman says, “This is completely new and different for us. I feel like there is more of our individuality and identity in the songs.” “We have really bared our inner selves here. And the album is all the more strange because of it,” said Cottrill.
