Based in St. John's, NL, the six-piece group is comprised of Tim
Baker (vocals/piano/guitar), Adam Hogan (guitar), Josh Ward (bass),
Phil Maloney (drums), Romesh Thavanathan (cello) and Erin Aurich
(violin).
Recorded in the dead of winter in
two East Coast harbour towns with producer and singer-songwriter
Hawksley Workman, "Into Your Lungs" began with a beautiful naivety and
confidence. An "off the stage" feel and vigor reminiscent of the bands
powerful live performances rooted the recording sessions and everything
was bred from and expanded from there. Conceptually, the new record is
a shift from Tim's earlier compositions often written in isolation
within his bedroom, to a new depth and space that comes from
experiencing life on the road as a touring band. The new record packs
more grit while allowing the bands infectious energy and vulnerability
to flow freely.
