Single Focus: Brief Habits

Answered by: Daniel Rogan

Single title? A Defining Commitment

What's the song about? My relationship with creating music, the vulnerability it brings and a fear that one day the flow will dry up. 

How long did it take to write/record? We leased an industrial space to record the record ourselves. Writing took only a few nights but it took a few more months to reach a point where we were happy with the recording.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Yes, it is on our debut self-titled album which is being released through Hobbledehoy Records on a date TBA.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Creating new material is a lot of fun. Going in to the studio 'fresh' and with no preconception of where we each song would lead was always going to be best for the album. 

We'll like this song if we like... Summer, guitar songs, J Robbins, books and dogs.

Do you play it differently live? The record does have a lot of different layers on it — added percussion and the like — but the amount of energy in our live show can easily match it. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? 25 Feb, Fat Louie's; 11 Mar, Crowbar
