Of the album, Colby (Driftin’ Luke) states “We wanted to document how we are increasingly handing the reigns over to our children. The first album’s rickety rhythms and ramshackle atmosphere continue to present themselves on this second album, which is evidence of a busy family life going on in the midst of recording attempts. The kids were good sports, however, and their joy is what makes the songs complete. These songs came out of our family’s trials and triumphs and the One that kept us all together through them.” Download/Stream this release exclusively at Bandcamp. Stay tuned for a possible cd release.
