about
A lot has changed for T & The Wonder as of late. Parting ways in Chicago to live on separate coasts has made recording a challenge. With a three hour time difference between us, throwing around ideas and coming up with demos has been made all the more difficult. We knew that we had to take what little time we had in the same state and get to work. So it was during the last week in December in the sleepy town of Essex, Vermont that we began tracking for our next release.
Writing and recording in between holiday obligations and reworking some ideas that had been kicking around for over a year, this digital 7” (Side A: “Corsage” / Side B: “Vespa”) is the finished product of our efforts. The sound is distinctly different - the live drums and string section have been traded in for synthesizers and spare use of programmed drums to create a somewhat understated vibe - but the themes and overall style remain intact. The finished product is a DIY effort that both of us are pretty excited about. We hope you enjoy.
