7 - "Insomnia"

For our final song, we are joined by musician/producer Jay Arner as we set out to write the song of the summer, inspired by car washes, Whitney Houston, and milk.

In this bonus episode, we go through all the songs on the album and come up with a running order.

Our penultimate song draws inspiration from Jock Jams, rambling country, and psychedelia. Chris Connelly of Bad Pop and Hot Panda joins us to write this one.

A song inspired by State Farm insurance, the misunderstood loners of Home Alone and Home Alone 2, and the cello.

A song inspired by the wonders of nature, the vastness of the incomprehensible, and the charm of Tom Petty. Buy the song at https://ourdebutalbum.bandcamp.com/

Graham finally takes the lead vocal as we write a song inspired by stupid wisdom, hotel fire maps, and Leonard Cohen.

As we enter the second half of the album, we write a rockin' tune inspired by sleepless headaches, Leprechaun, and a R2-D2.

We reach the halfway point of the album with a track that takes inspiration from disco, telephones, Bruces, and Brians. Jessica Delisle from Jay Arner and Energy Slime joins us and pulls our disco biscuit out of the gurgler.

Our fifth song draws on such influences as Cake, Billy Joel, and those big sand-filled ashtrays that used to be in hotels.

Our fourth song takes inspiration from new wave crooners, the Beach Boys, and older women. Aaron Read from How to Dress Well and the Sunday Service and joins the team for a synth-heavy songwriting collaboration.
