i thought it might be a good idea to post the tracklisting for our album on the new blog. it will be available on iTunes & CDbaby in the Spring. no definite plans for a physical release (cd) yet, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. as always, you can hear our 10 most recent songs here: www.myspace.com/presentlyfalling and ALL of our songs here: www.reverbnation.com/presentlyfalling. thanks for listening/reading!

Cluthe/Lee
“Here We Are”
Release Date: Spring 2010

silver lining
setting sun
presently falling
here we are
faster than you know
predicament
midnight
circle
sundown
the color burns
count down
a harmless song
brace yourself

hello all..

i just posted the first song out of a collection of 4 new Cluthe/Lee songs that will be coming your way in the next week or so. “New To Me” is a song i wrote a couple of months before this collaboration started & i’ve never played it live. it’s a refreshing song, i think. whenever i play it, it just makes me happy. here are the notes on “New To Me”….

New To Me
words/music: Cluthe

Cluthe: vocals, acoustic guitar, bass, slide guitar, mixing
Lee: electric guitar, backing vocals, organ

like i said, we have three others coming your way very soon & they are all different from the next & last. they are “Stay”, “Go Home” & “Untitled/Reels Fly By”.

the motu is up & running & it’s making recording much more fun! it’s been a really busy week for Chris & I, but we’ll be posting these songs & some further album updates very soon!

thanks for listening,
Matt

hey, hey..

“pressing buttons….let the reels fly by…”

something about those lines in this song just sounds so liberating. i liked it so much, that i asked Chris if he liked the line enough to make it the song title! this song was an absolute blast to record. i had so much fun playing the bass line in this one & the vocals were a lot of fun to sing as well. it came together really quickly. he sent me 2 alternate versions of the song..one upbeat & one not. i loved the upbeat one. i had no idea that he was going to re-record it, but he did. and i love this version even more than the originals. this was easliy one of the fastest songs to come together in awhile. it has such a positive feel to it….good times, indeed.

turn it up & dance. that’s what i was doing when i recorded it & i think you’ll be glad you did!

2 more songs are wrapping up as i type this: “Stay” & “Go Home”….they’ve been on deck for awhile now, but they’re nearing the finish line. stay tuned…they’ll be posted soon.

and another flurry of new ideas is in full swing as well…..2010 has been very busy so far, but also very rewarding!

cheers!
Matt

REELS FLY BY
music: Lee
words: Cluthe

Lee: Electric Guitar, Shaker, Drums
Cluthe: Vocals, Bass, Mixing

**since myspace only allows 10 songs at a time, we have to keep removing older tunes when we post a new one. if you want to hear what we’ve done so far, you can visit our other page here: www.reverbnation.com/presentlyfalling. as always, if you want mp3’s of any of our songs, you can email us at presentlyfalling@gmail.com. thanky.**

Hi all

Hope you are enjoying the December tunes posted recently! Matt and I are hard at work on a new collection of 5-6 songs and Matt passed on 3-4 additional demos from December sessions. Very productive month #12 was (speaking like Yoda now). Matt is now using his new Motu and the early mixes are sounding crisp and clear! Matt’s vocals through the Motu are something like you haven’t heard yet! Along with new instruments our songs are gonna have some jump on them and I can’t wait to share the new songs! Thanks for listening! Let us know what you think of the new stuff!

Chris

hey there—

it’s been an awesome year, but 2010 is shaping up to be even better! Chris & I will be releasing our 1st LP on iTunes in the next 3 months & we’re both really proud & excited to be a part of this record!

with all of the album preparation on hold for now while Maura (www.frag-ment-ed.com) finishes the artwork, we’ve been hard at work on some new songs. four of them will be posted today. they are: BETTING MAN, ECHO, PIECES APART & BLACK HORSE. take a few minutes & head over to our page to listen to them: www.myspace.com/presentlyfalling.com

you can also hear ALL of our songs here: www.reverbnation.com/presentlyfalling

some info about these songs:

Echo: a tribute to Lura, a truly amazing woman that will be missed.

Black Horse: an old song of mine that is FINALLY finished thanks to Chris’ persistence!

Betting Man: one of my rare “political” songs that was written during the election. i’m just glad that the good guy won.

Pieces Apart: first song I’ve written that is geared towards a music & art collaboration that Maura & I are talking about. the theme of the collaboration is puzzles. Chris & Laurel added some awesome vocals to this one.

thanks for all the love & support and i hope you all have a VERY happy 2010!!!

Matt
