The Vanrays EP (2019)
Our first recording in 2018 was intended to be a quick demo recording to show to venues and the like to drum up gigs for our new creation. As we went forward in the recording, we relaized that we had to poslish these songs and release it as our first EP in 2019.
It was a very indie affair, with tracks recorded in Brian's living room (minus the furniture) with overdubs recorded in Brian's basement and additional keys recirded in Gord's garage. And the video for Hey Barcelona was filmed in just over an hour at practice on some iPhones and cut together at home.
It was, indeed, the beginning of something special.
