Damn Tall Buildings have unveiled another track from their forthcoming LP Don't Look Down set for release on June 7th. The album, produced by Dan Cardinal (Darlingside, Lula Wiles, Josh Ritter), is a statement of reconnection. 'I'll Be Getting By,' the new single from the Brooklyn-based four-piece, premiered at The Bluegrass Situation this week. ''I'll Be Getting By' harkens to a summer day, almost assuredly finding yourself in a boat on a river,' the band told The Bluegrass Situation. 'You glance at the wake behind you, unable to prevent memories flooding back from miles upstream. You reach into the water and realize the very same river slipping quickly through your fingers is faithfully carrying you with it. As the river and you barrel forward together, time'll get you where you're going whether you think it's wasted or not.”
Joe Pug's new record “The Flood In Color” is nearly four years in the making. But that betrays the fact that the making of the album was one of the most natural and rewarding processes of his career. Produced by Kenneth Pattengale of the Milk Carton Kids and engineered by Matt Ross-Spang, the album started with the goal of focusing on the simplicity of musicians playing together, live, in the same room. Recently relocating back to his childhood home in Prince Georges County, Maryland after many years spent in Chicago and Austin, Pug wanted to take a new approach. The partnership with Pattengale proved to be an irresistible opportunity to do just that.
