Colony House,
The TVD First Date

“My whole life has been spent around music. My father is a singer/songwriter as is his father. So, music has always been abundant in the Chapman household.”

“I can just barely remember cassettes from my early days, then of course your standard compact disc, and in my middle school years the iPod came on the scene changing everything. The only interaction I had with vinyl growing up was around Christmas time when mom and dad would dust off a few holiday classics to help create the appropriate ambiance.

It was not long after I had graduated high school, however; that I was convinced to get my own record player. I was listening to an album I knew well from the many times I had played it on my car stereo, but this specific listen through was different. The album I was listening to was Jon Foreman’s solo project, and apparently he had released it on vinyl.

There is no need to play up the emotion of the story here, I just remember thinking, ‘That sounds really cool. I need one of those machines.’

Long story short, my next birthday I got myself a record player.

As an artist, we create works to be experienced in their entirety. A painter wants you to see the whole picture, not just the outlines. An author wants you to experience the whole story ,not just a chapter. For us, we have 45 minutes to tell a story through song and I think that vinyl serves the artist in helping tell the whole story uninterrupted. It makes listening to music tangible and personal.

So, with all that said we are amped to be releasing our album on vinyl—and I think we are as excited as anybody about hearing what we sound like on it.”
