Yellow & Green by nightshades
In the winter of 2023, nightshades (Andrew Judah, N. Sherman, Common Fires, DL Ranney) holed up in a BC cabin to record early live-show favourites and write new songs alike. What emerged was an EP of firsts: songs were quickly written with all four members contributing, and each of the tracks were recorded live-off-the-floor in single takes.
'Maybe I Will', the band's opening song throughout their gigs in 2023, finally arrives in recorded form. Brand new material written on the recording trip, 'The Out' and 'Nervous Ghosts', represent nightshades' future in collaborative songwriting. 'Get Over' energetically repurposes solo project material.
Featuring all four members of BC's modest, yet-still "super group", 'Yellow and Green' both highlights each musician's individual abilities, and demonstrates their increasing musical chemistry with one another.
