Spring Break In Mexico - The Danforths




As anyone who reads this blog knows, we (the Danforths) are working to complete our next album "Amphibian." The process has been a lot of fun. Some of the songs are based on ideas that either Chris or I brought in initially, and then were developed further as a group. A few of the tunes we came up with as the result of "jam" sessions in our practice space. Other tunes are re-worked versions of tunes we had originally written for a band that never happened called "Land Bird."

This song, "Spring Break In Mexico," came about through a completely different process. Chris completed wrote and recorded this tune, with some percussion help from Tom. We are now going back, and completely re-recording this song with different instruments and a few other surprise substitutions for existing parts. The version that will be on "Amphibian" will be structurally similar, but sound totally different. In light of that, I felt it was acceptable to post this.
