Getting to write on what was my dad&#8217;s old gear was really cool for me, and I&#8217;m sure, in part, helped me to channel a grounded energy into the track.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I wanted to write about a very specific moment where you are just being. You are not fixating on the past. Not giving into anxious thoughts about the future. Just taking in your surroundings. Feeling at peace for a brief moment. My bandmate Matt and I evolved the demo together over a few days, using his DX100, and adding the Moog bass line which I love. The demo served as a ghost track we used when recording last fall at Union Sound where we recorded live drums and guitars.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Distancing&#8217;\u00a0will be out December 7th on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hivemindpr.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=04780c244c226dd8f0096243b&amp;id=7169ffbec7&amp;e=998dd35436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buzz Records<\/a>.\u00a0It&#8217;s available for preorder\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hivemindpr.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=04780c244c226dd8f0096243b&amp;id=ff7a8f0f9f&amp;e=998dd35436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/04780c244c226dd8f0096243b\/images\/c6adb865-72b0-42c6-adac-899fed8100f8.jpg?resize=352%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"352\" height=\"352\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n&#8216;Distancing&#8217; tracklist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Tides<br \/>\n2) Towers<br \/>\n3) Distancing<br \/>\n4) Places<br \/>\n5) Venus<br \/>\n6) Waves<br \/>\n7) Nice Age<br \/>\n8) Parade<br \/>\n9) Tunnel<br \/>\n10) Blowing<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In support of &#8216;Distancing,&#8217; the band will head out\u00a0on an\u00a0East Coast in December, before a longer run in the new year.
