Posted on by Editor

Artist: Kris Ulrich
Hometown: Winnipeg, Canada
Song: “1994″
Album: Big in the USA
Release Date: March 31, 2023
Label: Birthday Cake Records

In Their Words: “I wrote this song after coming home from a night at my parents’ house watching old video tapes of us as kids. I specifically recall a scene of my brother and sister twirling around our living room laughing, wearing clothes my mom had sewn for them. Watching these videos with my parents at about the same age they were in the videos really made me think about how they were feeling at that time in their lives. What did they feel like watching it now? Writing ‘1994’ felt really cathartic and it kind of poured out of me. I wanted the song to feel like a warm embrace, like you were being enveloped by it.” — Kris Ulrich

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Wood Belly
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Song: “Gone Are the Days”
Album: Man on the Radio

In Their Words: “‘Gone Are the Days’ is a project we’ve been working on, well, for a lifetime. The video features some of Wood Belly’s childhood home movies interlaced with moments from the last few years playing music across the country. We wanted to pay homage to our roots and express our undying gratitude to the people that helped us get to where we are and will go. There’s a clip towards the end of a couple of our moms hugging during our set in Telluride, Colorado, which pretty much sums up the whole idea. Much love to everyone who made us who we are.” — Chris Weist, Wood Belly

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Cave Twins
Hometown: Akron, Ohio
Song: “Walk Together”
Album: Best Friends For Now
Release Date: March 15, 2019
Label: Tiger Spa

In Their Words: “Atheists do got songs! We love everything about gospel music, except the message. So we worked up a little ‘humanist gospel tune’ about the glory of friendship and the power of human kindness. We paired it with this 1983 good old-fashioned family vacation to Cedar Point, all shot on a super 8 camera. Hot dog!” — Cave Twins
