Had a great time at The Adelaide last night with the guys! Pretty certain that the song we wrote will definitely be played every time we get together. Very happy to have Garrett, Connor, and Andre as my brothers.

Working on two more songs for the record. Ben is doing well, I'm doing well, and life is good.

Thank you all for keeping up with all of this throughout the twists and turns, it'll be well worth it!

Another studio update:

Yesterday Ben and I worked on a few of the songs that we had conjured up over the weekend that had evolved from the songs I brought down to Houston with me. Two of which didn't end up getting completed, but will be worked on constantly over the next month of so via back and forth file sharing.

This trip down to record really got me thinking about quite a lot. I didn't turn on the radio once on my drive back, and despite some time on the phone, all I really did was simply think. Sounds odd, but this record has really gotten me into a new place in my life. I feel like I'm maturing, and I'm making decisions and putting in effort and it's making me who I am. After working on a song I wrote for my grandmother that passed away almost two years ago, I feel like I can finally open up to show the heavier, deeper content of who I am through the record.

Thanks,
Matthew

Studio Update:
After the drive down here to record, Ben and I spent all of yeasterday rehearsing/writing the songs we're tracking all day today.

Things are looking and sounding really good so far. We both feel like these songs will really even out the record and provide a bunch of dynamics.

More updates soon!

I'm free!

I was admitted from the hospital the day after my last post, and I've been slowly getting back into the swing of things day by day. Everything is falling into place and I'm doing much better now.

On a more musical note, I will be making the drive to work on the record with Ben this weekend! We're looking into putting out the last handful of pre-production tracks before we begin full-scale recording at the first of the year.

Things are looking up!
