New Music From The Dailies — All In

Hey all.

Well, tracking week approaches quickly, and we’re feeling our collective pulse rising. I liken the studio experience to like being in the womb. It’s a place where nothing from the outside world is allowed. Our kids will be gone, other work will be suspended. Emails will go unanswered. Bliss.

At the end, something is born. It has its own personality, its own soul. It moves from something intimately connected to you, and you alone, and takes it place in the world, taking on a life of it’s own. You’re still connected to it, but not in the same way.

This past week, we completed writing what is to be the 13th track on this new record. Erica was listening through our playlist of demos over and over, and she came to me and said… “We need one more fun song. Something loud, and big. Something that makes your heart race. Something that people can throw up their hands to and sing along. We need a monster chorus.”

She sat down with her guitar and started playing through some changes and singing some ideas. The tone of what she was singing rang in my ears, and I got an idea.

We love this tune. It makes us feel really, really good.

Stay tuned as next week unfolds. We’ll be blogging and uploading media as it becomes available. It’s going to be really fun to hear these demos become their real selves.

Here’s lucky #13, “All In.”

    :D Sounds good. Have to listen to it again. Any time frame you think of when you’ll be able to get everything finished?

    Kristin -

    We’re tracking next week, and our goal is to have it in people’s hand by the end of the summer at the latest.

    Just terrific. Definitely a fist-pumper, in the long and illustrious tradition of organ-driven fist-pumpers (see The Doors, Counting Crows and early Stevie Wonder). I love the hook, though my brain has already changed the lyric to “Get drunk or get paid.” I wonder what that says about me?

    I hope you kids have an incredibly time in the womb of Eldorado, safe and warm and kickin’ up a storm. Look forward to hearing the wails of what is born…
