Single title? Frenzy/Take It Easy

What’s the song about? The songs are about a range of experiences, but we think the titles give you at least a little idea!

How long did it take to write/record? We first started recording Frenzy in my lounge room in around August 2013. We wrote Take It Easy around that time, and started recording it in April this year.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Frenzy will just be released as a single for now, but Take It Easy will be apart of a forthcoming second EP that we’ll hopefully release by 2015.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? A lot of consistent gigging inspired a big surge of writing, particularly after the success of our first EP launch. Everything was coming together and we began approaching things with a new energy and maturity.

We’ll like this song if we like... Crazed gypsy folk dances and Grizzly Bear-esque harmonies with a mandolin soaked in reverb.
