about

Winter Song EP

This collection of songs started in 2002 when Skye McCaskey, a producer and friend of ours, had some down time between projects and asked if we wanted to record a song. We jumped at the chance and recorded “Two Voices” in our practice space at the house we were living in. As it turned out, Skye had more down time than he had anticipated and offered to keep recording. We were able to finish the 5 tracks that we would later decide to release as the Winter Song EP over the course of a few months. We tracked most of it in our practice space but were able to record pianos, and harpsichord at Wright Music Hall at MTSU. After finishing the EP, Michael Eades and Sarah Jones from Skyamore approached us with the idea of hand made packaging for the release. They came up with a beautiful design and we all gathered at Michael’s place on more than one occasion to help assemble 700 of them. To this day, the first thing people remember about about the Winter Song EP is usually the packaging. We think of this EP as the point where we started to find our sound and figure out where we were headed musically.

Unreleased Recordings

Following on the heels of the Winter Song EP, we went back to Skye McCaskey to see if he would be willing to recording some more material. He agreed and we started recording some new songs. We finished four new tracks and were in the process of deciding what to do with them when the band broke up in 2005. We had been leaning toward adding them to the Winter Song EP and rereleasing it as a full length, so it is only fitting that they are finally together for the first time the way we had intended them to be. Unfortunately, only one song was fully mixed and another one partially mixed before Aireline broke up and the other two were hardly touched. Over the years, the original sessions were lost and could not be mixed. Luckily, Skye had made us some roughs to listen to, so the songs live on if only in a pale reflection of what they were imagined to be. The lone mixed track was “Subway Sonata,” one of our favorite songs we ever wrote, which was inspired by the death of Mason’s grandfather. The partially mixed song was “Sleep on the Bottom,” a song that we got to record using the same pipe organ at Wright Music Hall at MTSU that we used years earlier on a song call “Rest Your Bones” from our first album. The remaining two tracks, “First Time” and “Blue Hands” are just raw, unmixed tracks but we love them still. They are a snapshot of where we were heading before we disbanded, and we are proud to finally share them with you after all these years.
