What is pleasurable pain? While it’s an obvious oxymoron; to some it’s perhaps nothing more than a state of mind. To me it is life. How many things in life aren’t distinct sentiments but hinge on more than one emotion? Pleasure and pain are the axis that creates the various rhythms of earth and leaves us to define the term that best fits the circumstance. Without the other one would go unappreciated or respected. The concept of “pleasurable pain” may seem to be trivial. While the meanings and feelings of these two words are direct opposites it poses a rhetorical question, what defines the boundary of either emotion?

With this album we are trying to give the privilege to you to decide which emotions are felt. We have simply compiled the order we feel captures the concept. We tried distancing ourselves from this project but found we are too attached emotionally and being artist we are over analytical. We realize the format might be surprising but feel all the elements are there. This gives our listener friends an opportunity to see a dimension of us they haven’t known. I don’t have the words to express our gratitude for the support we’ve had but are grateful for all that’s been demonstrated. This is for y'all!

Just blowin’ smoke,
