I wrote a handful of songs around 2008 – 2009 that felt like a very developmental phase for me. I was trying to find a balance between “Christian music”, rock music, and something a bit more pop-sounding. I never attempted to put the songs from this era into album form, but I returned years later to “find” the better half of these songs and declare them an album. Some of these songs are very-evidently unfinished demos, while others sound nearly complete, for my then-level of production commitment.
