Past Releases
Tongue In Cheek [Single] (2020)
“'Tongue In Cheek' was originally written for and performed by Lee Terrace in 2014. Conceived around ruminations on mental health, the theme and message I originally sought to convey seems just as relevant now as it did then. The inclusion of the first Menuet from Bach's 3rd Partita for solo Violin (BWV 1006) seemed like a perfect fit as an interlude between the two tracks. A beautifully quaint dance and peacefully cathartic palate cleanser.” - Artist statement from the original ‘Approachable People’ release
Kevin Metzger - guitar, vocals, and piano
with Max Puglisi on drums and backing vocals, Michael Sloan on electric-bass and backing vocals
Recorded at the Sherwood Stage in Austin, TX. Mixed and mastered by Michael Sloan.
Approachable People [Single] (2020)
//with// Max PuglisiAs the first joint-release from two friends who have worked closely together on-and-off for the past decade, we hoped to pair personal songs of our own which, despite being written separately, share common themes that seem ever more present during this whirlwind of a year. During this trying time, we hope to reach the ears and hearts of friends, as we are donating 50% of our sales to the Equal Justice Initiative. While we explore topics of mental illness and pandemic quarantining, we can't begin to fathom what it is like to be marginalized by a system that we're forced to trust.
