It was thrilling to work with a professional producer on our last album. But when our friends at EardrumsPop asked if we’d contribute a song for their 5-year anniversary compilation, I seized the chance to record and mix an Onward Chariots song all by myself, entirely at home, for the first time. I edited very little and mixed as quickly as possible. The result, inspired by first hearing Spearmint‘s indie pop classic “Sweeping the Nation”, is rough but arguably extremely sincere. Enjoy!
