about

About the song:

So we are cheating a little bit this month. Wartime Lovesong, is not a brand new song that we recorded with Jesse in one day. Rather, it is the title track of our new album, which is being released tomorrow (June 16th) on Jericho Beach Music.

The album, three years in the making, is a song cycle about war, family, love, and revolution, and how these notions are transfered and translated from generation to generation. It features a brass quintet, and back up vocals by Debra-Jean Creelman (who is singing on this track), Jess Hill, Melisa Devost, and Lyndsay Poaps.

Here are what some people have been saying about the album so far:

We thought it would be silly not to post one of the songs from Wartime Lovesong this month. We are really proud of this record and hope that you will have the opportunity to hear it. If you are so inclined, you can purchase it here:

About the artwork:

The image that you see at the top of the post is a collage of old family photographs that I put together in photoshop. It serves as the cover of Wartime Lovesong.
