I Thought You Knew
Here's another song from the new Coffee Sergeants album Racing Shadows.
The drums, bass & guitars are live, take 2 or 3, no edits. Keys and vocals overdubbed the next day.
[mp3]
I wrote & forgot this bass line a couple times, and was fortunate to find the skeleton in a 10-second voice memo on my phone. Carey brought it to rehearsal on guitar and we beat on it a couple times, then set it aside for a couple months. When it came time to make the album, he sent out a demo, I scoured my phone, and built this bass track from that bit I found. It's so refreshing to be playing bass for someone who lets me be a professional. After we ran down the final version, I asked him what he thought and he just said "sounds great."
The highest compliment anyone has ever paid me as a bassist happened 3 times from different peoiple on the same night when we debuted the album: "You sound just like Colin Moulding." I think I'm wearing that influence on my sleeve here.
Album available at Bandcamp via Flak Records. Also Apple Music, Spotify, etc.

sounds great. The breakdown really brought it up for me. The flutey keyboards are doing such a good line. Also dig the simple ooooh back-vocals. Just a ton of cool choices.

Thank you all!
This is pretty much what we sound like live. But we're all too old to suffer the depredations of touring, so you'll have to come to Austin.
