Hey everyone---
Matt here. We just wanted to update you all on a few things & let you know that our latest song, Drop of Rain, will be posted either today or tomorrow. Drop of Rain has come a long way. I recorded the basic track a few weeks ago & sent it off to Chris. Once he finished all of his parts, he sent it back. I had mentioned that I wanted to add some piano to the song, so I did. This song has about 5-6 different mixes that I'm aware of...some with more of this, some with less of that. For one reason or another, it has been "almost finished" for a very long time. We're both happy to say that it is finished! Chris---thanks for your patience, man!
So, Drop of Rain will appear on our pages either tonight or tomorrow. When it goes live, you can hear it HERE: www.reverbnation.com/presentlyfalling & HERE: www.myspace.com/presentlyfalling
In Other Cluthe/Lee news....
-Chris & his wife are coming to Texas next weekend! They (along with Laurel & I) will be heading to ACL Music Festival & we can't wait! It's going to be great to sit in the same room & play some songs! We're going to try to play a small set somewhere, but it is ACL weekend...so it might be tough to land a quick booking. But, we're trying! Over a year of writing/recording/collaborating/mixing....and we're finally going to meet after writing close to 75 songs. Can't wait!
-There are several new ideas floating between us---each song is in a different stage and I've been able to make some vocal headway over the last 2 days. Looking forward to sharing them with you all.
-LP #2 (still untitled at this point) is just about ready to be submitted for copyright! We are pleased to announce that my sister, Maura is once again on board to design the artwork! We can't wait to see what she comes up with! Up until now, we've kept the tracklisting silent...but now seems like a good time to share it with you all! You can hear early mixes of all of these songs on our reverb page.

New release Sunday!
Howdy partner's! Chris here writing to let you know about "Elevator Music" which has been officially released for you all to hear on our Myspace page and Reverbnation page.
This song was developed mid-August and was inspired in part by a Ryan Adams and The Cardinals tune I had been listening to. There was something that struck me about that song's structure that had me reaching for my guitar. Matt got a working track and had vocals on it quicker than normal. He tells me the lyrics were written awhile back and felt like they'd be perfect on this song. It's a mellow tune overall and I hope you guys and gals enjoy it!
As of yesterday we are nearly finished with editing the track list for our second LP. Major progress has been made since the last update! The songs have been sent to our artist/designer to begin the process of developing artwork. Still untitled as of now, and quite different from "Here We Are" in many ways. The process of getting this next LP out will be a bit more paced I'm thinking. No time table for release has been set, but the wheels are in motion. For now we continue writing new songs all the time and have been enjoying the positive feedback on "Here We Are." We thank you all so very much for your kind words and improv album 'reviews' you've sent us. You all make this possible for Matt and I in so many ways and we cannot thank you enough! Matt and I will finally get to meet in about 3 weeks for Austin City Limits Festival. A long overdue meeting!
Stay tuned...

Comes through in ways never thought possible...
Greetings Earthlings
Chris here from stormy Columbia, MO typing up an update on 2 brand new songs that are ready for you to enjoy! Both of these tunes are part of a productive summer period of writing and these are the two newest to come from those sessions. Both are Cluthe compositions and once more showcase the musical flex both of us have and continue to develop as musicians.
"Coming Through"
Cluthe: Music/Lyrics/Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Lead Guitar/Bass/Production & Mixing
Lee: All percussion/Lead Guitars
This song built up immediate steam when I got the demo and had so many elements thrown into it that mixing was pretty tough for Matt! This song features 3 electric solos, which is a first for us. Coming Through has an amazingly unpredictable flow to it. Listening to the finished mix it seems to come to this apex, slow down and then break through stronger than before. Matt and I both agree that the last minute of the song is one of our finest moments making music together. Matt had actually gone back and added this awesome chunky rhythm guitar that matches up so well with the other elements. Several times in the mixing process we each listened with the same amazement like "who are these guys?" Ha!
"His Voice"
Cluthe: Music/Lyrics/Vocals/Acoustic & Electric Rhythm and Lead Guitar/Bass
Lee: All percussion/Organ Keys/Lead Guitars
This song couldn't be more opposite of Coming Through in my opinion. Matt and I both really love Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and I told him that this song reminded me of them. On this song I was feeling more comfortable on the drum kit than ever and started incorporating more fills than I usually do. I love challenging myself musically and this song REALLY put my abilities to the test. Matt's story telling in His Voice is great. I always feel like there's an instant sense of relating to what he's saying to us. I feel so lucky to have such a great songwriter by my side. Truly inspiring you guys...
In other news, there are 100 copies of Here We Are flying somewhere over Pennsylvania as we speak on there way to my house. They arrive tomorrow and we're both poised to start sending these out to all who ordered. We'll have extra copies, so if you didn't order one and want one, let us know by sending an e-mail to presentlyfalling@gmail.com
There are about 4 more songs left from our productive summer that are being worked on and we can't wait to share them! Thanks for all your love and support gang! We love you back!
