Song: “Then Comes the Night” (Feat. Cindy Cashdollar)
Album: Our Band: Live Studio Sessions
Release Date: May 11, 2022
Label: Wavy Glass

In Their Words: “Our Band is always looking to expand our sonic palette. We were recently asked to create a virtual concert experience for Lincoln Center, and this gave us incentive to write and find some new songs, and to realize them in creative ways. Justin Poindexter (our guitarist) has been working on a project by the great songwriter D.B. Rielly, and D.B. generously offered his haunting ‘Then Comes the Night’ for this session. Cindy Cashdollar plays amazing lap steel on this track. She, Rohin Khemani (tabla and drums) and Dave Speranza (bass) brought such wonderful energy and a sense of adventure to the recording session. It was a thrill to record live in the same room, and to have all these amazing textures happening around us.” — Sasha Papernik, Our Band

WATCH: Our Band, “Fading”

Posted on by Editor

Artist: Our Band
Hometown: New York, New York
Song: “Fading”
Album: Bright as You
Release Date: June 25, 2021

In Their Words: “Our song ‘Fading’ was sparked by the sound of those first two chords against each other. There is a sweetness, coupled with a kind of foreboding feeling. Relationships have a kind of inevitable gravity to them, and this song deals with the moment where you take the plunge. You have to lose yourself a little, and it is mysterious and kind of frightening. Sasha and I tried to capture that moment musically, and the great nonagenarian Dean of American Folk Music, David Amram, is on flute. The sonority of the steel guitar, David’s flute, and a real vintage Mellotron tape-based sampler is one of my favorite textures on the album – a little vintage futurism, you could say.” — Justin Poindexter, Our Band
