About the perpetual motion in our new song, “Here Lies the Moment”… The heavy delay on the acoustic guitars is key to the track’s sound. #musicproduction #musicproducer #musicproducers #acousticguitar #guitaristsofinstagram #indiefolk #indierock

Conflicting vibes in the song coming out tomorrow. See what affects you most. “Here Lies the Moment,” we’re calling it. #indiefolk #chicagomusic #newmusic
Sound is off on this behind-the-scenes explainer for “Here Lies the Moment.” Jesse’s wife said it’s so bluntly bleak that it will seem awkward and weird: “People don’t think like that.” Even Josh, Mr. Bleak, said she’s probably right. So this won’t see the light of day, unless you can read lips. #songwritersofinstagram #songwriting
When we were tracking “Here Lies the Moment,” out 11/30. For the engineering nerds, we committed two cardinal sins of acoustic guitar recording: we used a dynamic mic (😱) blended with a heavy amount of the DI signal (😱😱). But that’s because we think it works for this tune. We hope you’ll agree on 11/30. #Songwriting #acousticguitar #guitaristsofinstagram #recordingstudio #newrelease #indiefolk #musicengineer #musicproduction
We rarely play together. Jesse and Josh stare at ProTools and track parts one at a time. Gabe visits Chicago occasionally and lays down bass. This video is from last year. Here’s hoping there will be more. If and when there is, it will of course be #TheBeatles. #georgeharrison #brothers

Tracking guitars for an upcoming release. For the engineering nerds, we committed two cardinal sins of acoustic guitar recording: we used a dynamic mic (😱) blended with a heavy amount of the DI signal (😱😱). But that’s because we think it works for this tune. We hope you’ll agree. Stay tuned. #singersongwriter #songwriting #guitar #guitaristsofinstagram #acousticguitar #recordingstudio #newrelease
Tracking drums on a total hodge podge kit for a soul inspired jam dropping shortly. For the drum/gear nerds — went single headed on the kick and tom for extra punch, and went super fat with the Tama Drums STAR solid maple snare (arguably my favorite snare drum). On top I’m blending Neumann K184’s with an AEA Ribbon Mics and Preamps R84 for the sweet spot of clean detail + warmth and mojo. We think you’ll like this one, stay tuned!
From Josh: Extended free piano improvisation for your evening listening pleasure. One of my goals for the new year is to humble myself at the altar of music and become a true student again, and to that end I will be putting out content that represents my work in progress rather than curating the most ‘impressive’ moments. Hence I am posting this in its entirety, warts and all, and I’ll try to make these regularly as a measure of growth (or lack thereof!) Feel free to skip around to the fast and loud parts if you must, but also feel free to settle in. #piano #pianosolo #instrumental #improvisationalmusic #classicalmusic #contemporarymusic #pianopractice #music #musicstudent #pianist #selfimprovement
This new song (link in comments) is special to us. Beatles music got Jesse through the early days of the pandemic, serving both as comfort food and inspiration: it led Jesse to ask his brothers to become a band again after 12 years. "It's Not Sentimental" is a wistful tribute to one of the Beatles – Paul McCartney. It's packed with lyrical and musical references to him and the group. We'd love for you to listen. #paulmccartney #johnlennon #georgeharrison #ringostarr #thebeatles #wings
