Finally, in a surreal moment we thought would never happen, and truthfully, we’re still in shock about this as we formally announce our new album ‘Zelpha’!

So much life has passed since the release of our EP ‘33’. We faced a battle with cancer for the second time, lost loved ones, weddings happened, and the pandemic led to a scenario where many of our close friends relocated to different cities, states, and some even ventured to new countries. We encountered numerous challenging moments, each fleeting in nature, yet we came to recognize the remarkable value inherent in all the experiences we’ve endured and pressed on with the album. The music absorbed this mood and determination to persevere.

The album is a collection of ten songs and are vulnerable stories of fear, disappointment, losing loved ones, lyrics heard in dreams, addiction, kindness, and the struggle to remain hopeful in a world that constantly tests your emotional well-being. The songs are as wide ranging as our emotions, uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking, and even reticent at times, but ultimately there is a return to daylight. Overall, the album promises to be a unique experience for listeners.

‘Zelpha,’ was recorded over a span of several years. In 2017, 2019, and 2022 the instruments were tracked by Patrick Hills of Earthtone Studios in Sacramento, CA, and mixing and production was done in 2023 by Monte Vallier of Ruminator Audio in San Francisco, CA. Mastering was completed  in 2024 by Josh Bonati of Bonati Mastering NYC, in Brooklyn, NY.

Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this album, and to those who have shown their support over the years! We are incredibly thrilled and also relieved to make this announcement, and we look forward to sharing our new album very soon!

Cheers!
