Quiet Company – Everyone You Love Will Be Happy Soon
If haven’t heard of Quiet Company, you should do yourself a favor and go check out their new album “Everyone You Know Will Be Happy Soon.”
My favorite back to back tracks on the album are: The Beginning of Everything at the End of the World into Red & Gold. The two songs really showcase Taylor Muse’s gift for melody, and written word.

The Devil and Daniel Johnston – Trailer
I’m not going to lie and say I’m a huge Daniel Johnston fan. Actually, I know very little about him. I’ve heard his name thrown around for years. This past weekend I found the documentary about his life, “The Devil and Daniel Johnston,” on YouTube, and couldn’t turn it off. More than anything, it’s an amazing story. Daniel lived in Austin during an important part of his life, so I feel somewhat connected to the things in this movie. There is even a painting off of Guadalupe near campus that Daniel painted.
Here’s a preview clip of EP2 which should be available in late June.
We’ve started into the recording phase of EP2. This is the area where I start to get nervous. I can write songs all day, but the recording can make a good song lackluster. So I’m trying to add some spit and shine to these few songs, and trying to capture them correctly.
I will say, you’ve never heard anything like this from JUF before. The first song is a “jam” as Todd says. It’s fairly aggressive, with an epic chorus. The second song, is a straight ahead rocker with a unique little arrangement. You can hear a sneak peek of the third song on the EP2 page.
Also, thank you to everyone who has downloaded and spread the word about our free EP project. We’ve already seen a ton of downloads of EP1, and hope to see even more as we continue through this project.
Thanks!
