Eric has written a really beautiful collection of songs here. I’m proud of him. I would say that the theme of this record is a movement from darkness to light–which might also be the theme of Eric’s soul at the moment. We tried to capture that in the recordings. There are definitely some dark moments (fittingly so), but the songs always seem to step into the light. Anyway, I think you’re really going to like Birds of Relocation. I do.

I’ve already listened to the album(and love it), but I’m looking forward to reading the stories behind the songs and hearing others’ comments.

I loved Chrome. It came a one of those moments where I was encouraged to know someone else thought those things as Eric sang them to me. After I downloaded Birds yesterday and fitted my headphones for the bus/subway commute to work I wondered what Birds would be. I barely got to the street from the apartment door before “Haha to the old year!” grabbed me by the shirt and for the next 40 minutes or so I was being roused by the new soundtrack for this season of my life. Thanks Eric!

Thank you, guys. I need to sticky note all of these comments onto my forehead so I don’t forget them. Defeat comes easily to me, so it is good to hear that these songs are landing on a sweet spot for some folks.
Jon Slone: iTunes eventually, but for now, let’s go organic and support the “local,” the RR.

Pete and Eric, thanks for arranging this “listening party”. I loved the one hosted here for Jason Gray’s latest, and I’m loving this one too.
