In Fall of 2009, we took a van load of recording equipment (complete with a Digi-003, pre-amps, compressors, a MacBook and about a dozen different mics) out to Middle-of-Nowhere, West Texas and set up in an old hunting cabin on our friend's ranch. The goal was simply to capture the vibe and perhaps draw inspiration from the harsh contrast that exists where the rugged rock landscapes meet clear open skies, interrupted by the soothing motion of ominous steel windmills and the eeire silence of old trucks left for dead. It's the kind of time and space, the break from the norm, that you need sometimes to put everything in proper perspective. We plugged in, played loud, and walked out with a few songs that we decided to bring home and develop further. We've sketched out a map for our 2010, ready to see what it makes of us.

ALL IN LOVE

Alone
While we waited for the time to arrive
Like I hunted for the the tide in the moon glow
The dispersion of the stars in the night
I looked for you
All in love

Love
When the hundred hour flood came alive
Like the thunder-hearted crash in the sky lit
Through the pulse of every foot to the grave
The moment framed
All in love

Beginning in March of 2010, Monahans will release a new song each month for the remainder of the year. Each recording will be made available in mp3 format, exclusively to fans and members of our email list and other media networks (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc). In addition to the songs themselves, you may also expect to see video footage, photos from the studio, album art and liner notes along the way, as a means to provide a little more insight into the process as it unfolds over the course of the year.

These recordings will be FREE downloads for the time being, but may be released as a collection for purchase in various formats at a later date.

Thanks for listening--hope you enjoy the songs
