A New Version of an Old Favorite

We were asked to perform on Jimmy Kimmel within a week of both of our properties burning in Altadena, Griffin lost his house and I lost our studio. We decided to play a ballad version of ‘Time Spent in Los Angeles’.

The song means all sorts of different things to us now. After that live performance it became clear we would want a proper studio recording of the version for posterity (and to maybe even raise a little more money for MusiCares).

So we hit up our fellow Angelenos Andrew Bird and Alan Hampton and recorded this live in one take at our old friend Mike Viola’s house studio in Echo Park. I feel like this is the version of this song that we’re gonna be playing for a long time to come.

I Love LA to Benefit MusiCares

Recorded this just a few days ago to make sure we could all continue to relive this moment together. Proceeds going to MusiCares in support of those affected by the LA Fires.

What a wild few days it’s been. Can’t wait to share some thoughts once I catch my breath. I love you all so much. Thanks for showing the love and support the way you always do. Hope you like the new track.
