Welcome back to CASUAL FRIDAYS! Our weekly, one-microphone recording series.

Euphoria Again was recently in town recording some new songs with Mat Cothran of Coma Cinema/Elvis Depressedly. They stopped by one night, and John threw down this beuatiful gem they had been working on. He didn't have a title at the time (and I haven't been on top of the game enough to track one down from him), but they were just referring to it as "D." A beautiful song paired with one of my favorite Casual Friday drawings yet (by Jordan Blackmon).

Keep it casual.

Welcome back to CASUAL FRIDAYS! Our weekly, one-microphone recording series!

This week we are so excited to welcome our good friends from Charleston, ELIM BOLT! We are so proud of the way this Casual Friday session sounds. Recording with one microphone is always a challenge, especially when bands want to incorporate a combination of electric and acoustic instruments. ELIM BOLT may have been the best candidate to get this balance right, between their ability to keep their electric energy (even at a low volume), and Johnnie's booming crooning voice that was able to carry so well over all the building sounds. We're all proud of the result and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

This week we were also able to team up with our new friends over at Dan Manor (thanks for the introduction, SceneSC) who came over and filmed the session and put together this amazingly beautiful video of the performance...
