about

Week 5: The Year of Living Backwards

Hi everyone. Week 5's song is called The Year of Living Backwards. We wrote it for a friend's wedding, but it's not really a wedding song (because what would that be, really?). That instrument that you hear at the start of the song is an old Gibson tenor guitar that sat in the closet for years until we figured out what kind of strings it needed. Then this song appeared.

I used to listen to this album on Spotify religiously, it really does help me sit back and relax and do my work and stuff like that. I love the Pavement/ Shiner influences in the songs, really cool. Bryan Wisri
