Co-produced by the band's own Melissa Mattey and Scott Krueger alongside Tony High at Nashville's Blackbird Studios and Width Music, Conjure follows the group's Thoughts From Yesterday and II EPs. Elliot Root features Krueger (vocals, guitars), Mattey (keyboards, drum programming), Sean Truskowski (drums) and Todd Bond (guitars). Writing and recording the album over the course of a year, the band worked out their material at Mattey and High's own Width Music Studio before moving to Blackbird Studios to lay down the tracks. "We would usually start the days off with an idea or two and spend the rest of the day experimenting and letting each idea unfold," explains frontman Krueger. "I don't think we had any sort of preconceived notion as to what we wanted things to sound like, our main goal was to really just get out of our own way and do whatever felt natural at the moment. Eventually we could see a common thread start to run through everything we were writing."Videos
