We recorded most of this album way back in the spring of 2007! That was before our brother Matt joined the band on drums and before our singer Ruth could even talk! We always thought fondly of these recordings. There was so much inspiration and good spirit in them! Nine years later our family was magically all together making music. We dug up these old songs, rewrote and recorded a few things and mixed it all together. And now here it is for your whole family to enjoy, with love from our family!
