Description
In the year 2000, I had gone to the Toad in the Hole basement pub to ask the some members of a local band called the Pets if they could help me record some of my music, in the same way they had recorded their album "Love and War" - In regards to my passion for recording, Love and War remains one of my biggest inspirations of all time - There's hardly a style of music they don't try to explore.
To my surprise, they had recently lost a member and planned to ask me to start a new band, which we named the Waking Eyes.
We spent the next 14 months or so building a sonic landscape in Matt's parent's basement in Steinbach, Manitoba.
In proper daydream and full-fantasy mode, we prepared for a future vinyl pressing by making the album have seamless song transitions, except for between songs 6 and 7 (or side A and side B).
I really never thought this day would come, but I can honestly say it's a bit of youthful dream come true, and is incredibly rewarding. While I've had lots of music pressed to vinyl, never has such a formative part of my songwriting life been etched into that big beautiful disc. - Rusty Robot, The Waking Eyes
