I Am Awake

"Vows" is our second album. Self-produced over a period of a year, this record is eleven songs of hope, longing and love which have been a long time in the crafting. While preparing for the album sessions we did a quick totting-up of the number of ideas, sketches and finished songs which we've worked on since the release of our last album, "Polar Ships" at the tail end of 2013. There were ninety-three. So some of the songs which made it onto this record were always going to; some of them we agonised over. A couple were late arrivals. But for every track on the album, there are probably at least 8 that didn't make it. But ultimately we saw a theme emerging. This is a positive record, a record about life and learning and the things that happen when you're making plans. Time and again, the idea of hope came up in the songs: sometimes expressed outright, sometimes as yearning, sometimes as a bit of sidespin on good old-fashioned heartbreak. But mostly we wanted to write some bangers that we love, and we want you to love them too. We hope you do. Thanks for listening - and we really mean that. As independent artists, we're genuinely THRILLED when someone listens to our stuff. If you like it - come to Facebook and tell us? Take care, you lot. K & R x
