Snapshot/First Light


Hi everyone.....


It feels good to finally post these songs so you can hear them. Chris & I have been a little busy lately & we really took our time to make sure that they sounded as good as possible. They're both pretty & melodic, but not to worry....the songs that we're working on now are loud, quirky & a lot of fun. Thanks again for your support during our mastering fundraiser! 3 songs have been mastered & we have 10 to go.....we're so excited to release the album in the Fall! Here's some brief info on our new songs & we hope this message finds you all well.


Matt & Chris


[SNAPSHOT]


(Cluthe) Big thanks to John (my father-in-law) for letting me borrow his mandolin! I've been wanting to learn the basics on the mandolin for awhile & this is the first full song that I wrote using the instrument. I kept working on it for about 2 weeks to make sure that it was nice & tight. Once it was where I wanted it to be, I recorded it. It's always a treat when I can get my wife to sing on a song & Laurel's vocals really add another layer to this song.




(Lee) The mandolin is a such a quiet little ‘hurricane’ of sound. Matt’s playing on it is amazing. Great harmonies between he and Laurel on this one. I played drums – which was fun to just have that one part to do. A total Matt composition through and through.

M. Cluthe (words/music): vocals, mandolin, bass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar
Lee: drums
L. Cluthe: backing vocals




[FIRST LIGHT]

(Lee) Messing around with different tunings and a capo again on this one. The original demo was edgy and had electric guitar on it – but after hearing Matt had a mandolin we decided to keep it as mellow as possible. Matt plays lead on mandolin and sings on this one.

(Cluthe) Chris wrote the music for this one & it immediately grabbed me. It's a loose song that could have gone in a million different directions, but Chris trusted me to try the mandolin on this track.

Cluthe (words): vocals, mandolin
Lee (music): guitar, drums, bass

Thank You!!!

Hey everyone...

Chris & I are constantly blown away by the love, support & encouragement that we've received since we started writing & recording music together 3 years ago, and today is no different.

Thanks to your donations & support, we have reached our goal & our 3rd album (still untitled) is now ready to be mastered! Two songs have already been mastered by our sound engineer, Will Reeves and they sound fantastic. We now have the funds to have the 11 remaining songs mastered thanks to you. These songs will be mastered over the next few months while Maura works on the artwork to prepare for a Fall release! (More details on that in the coming months)

We're still plugging away & working on new songs & should have 2 new ones (Snapshot/First Light) up in the next week for you all to listen to.

Thank you all for supporting independent music. Our collaboration/band started in the most honest & organic way and we're having a blast. We realize that this wouldn't all be possible without your love and support....so, THANK YOU!!! It means a lot to both of us & we can't wait to share the album with you!

Cheers,

Matt
