New Music Monday is at its core very simple. Every first Monday of the month for a year, we (two seconds away) wrote, recorded, and released a new song for free! New Music Monday first began in 2008 with a new song every week and all 52 of our original songs are available for purchase from iTunes.…
Long time no music! Sorry about that... Still no music, but here's a quick update so at least that's something!
A live version of Get Me Right.
We've been out at the stone barn for the past few days working on some new music. For fun we sat down last night and did a quick recording of this Sara Bareilles song. Enjoy!
For this month’s song we did a lovely little lullaby. And since its past my bedtime “Late Night Lullaby” seemed like a a fitting title. Enjoy!
This month Patrick did another one take wonder. Its a cover of the great song "You Found Me" by the Fray.
One of the cool things about doing this music thing is we get to meet some other really talented musicians. So we thought since we're only writing a song a month for 2010, why not feature some of those musicians every now and then? To kick things off we decided to feature Kyle Blake. He's a super talented guy that we met back when we were at K-State in Manhattan, KS. Kyle just finished up his second album "Kid From Kansas" and it sounds awesome. We went over to his house and did a little interview with him and had him play an acoustic number for us. So check him out and if you like what you hear then go buy his stuff!
Our second song for 2010. Daybreak has a nice mixture of natural and effected, digital and analog. For more info about our song a month project visit NewMusicMonday.com
Our first song for 2010. This one features an eclectic mix of sounds. The usual acoustic and electric guitars are supplemented with things like coins, a pen, spray bottle, and cabinet doors.
This song took some recycled portions from an older song that we did. The finished product turned into one of our favorite songs yet.
listen to Patrick and Tim talk about the commentary to Lost For Words... if that doesn't sound exciting I don't know what does!
Although it doesn't sound like it, this electronic sounding song was recorded entirely on an acoustic guitar.
We tried to be even more transparent for our 43rd song. For "Lonely Word" we posted a series of revisions over the course of a few weeks for this song. Take a listen to the final results.
We're on Fame Games! Check newmusicmonday.com to see if Fame Games is on the radio in your area.
Does anyone remember Romper Room? No? Neither does Tim, but Patrick does!
We need album art for the next CD cover and this is where YOU come in
Why are you listening to this commentary when its so nice outside?
We put together this little video to go along with the song "Why am I in my basement when its so nice outside?" The basic idea being... don't let life pass you by.

Tim just got back from NYC and visited a brand new park called the High Line. They converted an elevated railway into a park. It was such a brilliant idea that we had to share some video footage.

Tim was on a roadtrip to NYC so Patrick did song #39 all by his lonesome.
We had a fun time with our 38th song. Its a little postal service and a little 2sa.

For this week's song we took advantage of the web and took input from some of you over at newmusicmonday.com. We went a little rock and roll and tackled the subject of justice.
We've reached song #31. This is the commentary track for "A Waste."

What happens when you try to write a new song every week? Sometimes you write the song the night of its release...
