You're about to release Day EP - a follow up to your recent Night EP. Can you tell us a bit about what makes this release so special?

Hightower: The new three song Day EP is a direct response to our Night EP, which we released earlier this year. During the conceptual & creative process, we started noticing some very distinct similarities & differences in the new songs & music, as if some of them belonged together while others offered contrasting ideas or themes.

We decided to explore the idea & quickly divided the project into two parts which we felt were in juxtaposition to one another. Night & Day challenged us as musicians to push ourselves in different directions & broaden our voice and style at the same time!

How would you say you've evolved from your last project?

Hightower: We approached this project completely different from our debut album, where we we rushed into the studio to record 9 songs start to finish without sharing any of them publicly before our launch.

With Night & Day, we rehearsed all of the songs relentlessly during the year while also sharing them live at our public performances, which allowed the music to organically evolve & change before ever stepping foot in the studio.

"Magnolia" is your latest single. Tell us a bit about that track in particular.

Hightower: “Magnolia” is a modern day love story about someone that has a hard time getting out of their own way & learning to let go, while being honest, open, & willing to embrace & unravel the mystery that comes from sharing your life with another person. It reveals the inner struggle of having the courage to put oneself out there & overcoming the paralyzing fear love or rejection.

The song depicts the physical, emotional, & spiritual transformation of someone who finds themselves longing for love, understanding & a deeper philosophical purpose. They find oneself surrounded by a growing & ever-changing landscape in juxtaposition of a long standing historic neighborhood with cultural influences, deep in tradition & rich in romantic ideals & one enchanting evening on Magnolia.

Following up on that, how would you say Fort Worth has influenced your work?

Hightower: The song is inspired by the nights and days spent on Magnolia, strolling the street electrified by the pulse of the city's most vibrant & talented local artists, musicians, creatives, & the salt of Fort Worth.

You're having your EP release show this weekend (12/7) at the Rustic in Dallas. Give us the details on this show & what you have planned after this performance.

Hightower: We are asking our friends, family, & fans in Dallas/Fort Worth to join us at 9:30pm on Saturday, December 7th at The Rustic - Dallas, where we celebrate a year of hard work & countless lessons learned along the way.
