alyandaj: a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun is finally out today in the 🌏. This album took us over a year & 9 months to complete. From those first few sessions with @yvesrothman rewriting the lyrics to Pretty Places that we had originally started with @jamiesierota years ago, to the trips to denver with @jorge_elbrecht in the winter cold. This album very quickly revealed herself to us and we just stood by and ushered her in, because there was nothing else we could do but watch in amazement at these songs being quietly formed. Special thanks to our fearless leader @yvesrothman who pushed us to make the album we always knew was inside of us. Your lil sisters love you 💗To @jorge_elbrecht for meeting us at Oaks Gourmet on that random day in LA, which led to all of the songs we wrote together over the course of a couple months. We admire you so! To @sunsetsoundrecorders & @saturnsoundrecording for providing us with the space to freely create & hopefully capture the good vibes from the artists who paved the way before us. We are so grateful to the many people that lent their talents and precious time during a very hard year....Special thanks to @jesselnewport (the ultimate sound tweaker) @ainjelemme (for keeping our vocals sounding pure but not perfect) our insane session players @benzelico @900x @dereksteincello @tdraybass @rooseyaghmai @gukumatz #samstewart @joekennedyjr & @sylvaincarton To our other co-writers @johnstuartnewman @sadpony @auhasardspr & @olenkittelsen of who helped round out the rest of this album. To the mixing & mastering legends @adam_hawkins_ #michaelilbert @hansastudios & @lodgemastering (you truly added a touch of magic to these tracks) And lastly a humbled thank you to @melissa_etheridge @nancywilson (our longtime mentor and champion) & @wildnothing for adding their vocals & musical talents to Hold Out & Listen!!! They would not be the songs they are without you 🥺 We love you all & hope this album gets you out and into the sun xoxo A&A 📷 @shervinfoto P.S. - to the team working hard behind the scenes our manager @jaredrosenberg @jmr110 @primarywave @biccchele & everyone @awal & @jcpagejc @shorefire
