So. It's been a while.
After our tour in march, we realized we were no longer happy making the music we were making. There were rumors floating around that Fire Flies were breaking up, due to the cancelation of our upcoming tour and so on, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
The four of us went to a cabin for a few weeks, about an hour and a half drive north of Albany, to write new songs and rehearse them.

We have 22 new songs.
Here's the thing:
THERE IS NO LONGER A SPECIFIED SINGER OR WRITER. We are sharing duties, much like the partridge family, or menudo.

Also, there are no electronics, and we're switching between instruments from song to song, as well as who's singing.
In August, we'll be playing our first NYC with a 15 piece orchestra/band with all new songs, and we plan to keep NYC shows at a minimum of 12 people on stage.
Crazy stuff! But the creativity from this band is something I am not afraid of, I am only excited to hear and see the next chapter to this amazing band. Here are some new recording session photos of the band taken by drummer Seth Faulk
