Details:
''City Lights: How I Learned to Love the City'' is more than a concept album. It addresses three motifs throughout the album—the dichotomies between city and country, as well as electric and acoustic sounds, and the themes of growth, achievement, and progress. But the album also follows a character who has abandoned his rural life for the city, only to find that it’s not quite all he dreamed it to be. Growing nostalgic for the country, he leaves the city in the second half of the album. Once there, he learns that both settings occupy real places of his heart, and he appreciates his love for both.
We recorded this album over the course of three months, writing, producing, mixing, mastering, and distributing the music by ourselves. Having full control over the creative process of our music is something we''ve done in the past, but doing so for a full-length record of this stature was quite the learning process. We''re very pleased with the outcome, and think you will be too.
