ayyyye! wassup ya’ll! it’s your boy, City Cole! so I found out from our friend Roy that our song, recluse, was released on Bear Share last night. We really gotta check our iMac G3 for a leak or something… if it’s not limewire or Napster getting their grubby hands on our stuff it’s something else.. anyways…. it’s all wavy gravy though. from what Roy was telling me people are foaming at the mouth sharing and downloading it like crazy. you know what.. now that I think about it, Roy was the only one aside from V and I that had that one on a burned cd.. i think we might need to have a talk with him.

anyways, recluse had been in the pipeline for a while. if I remember correctly it was the first song that V and I worked on together. it started off as this sad emo piano ballad with the worst offbeat guitar playing imaginable but it really became something unique and special with time. i’m glad we took a bit of a break away from it to clear our heads and gain a bit of perspective on what direction it needed to go in.

this track is one of our heaviest songs in more ways than one. it was a really hard song to write and work on for the both of us. we’ve talked at length about this one in our previous journal posts but here’s a little recap: it’s about that feeling of working against the clock age wise, feeling like you or someone you love is stuck in a web of their own making, feeling like you have to answer to the outside world for your artistic quirks, etc. we will leave the rest up for you to decide.

we hope you love this one as much as we do.
