What began as a few small musical Instagram posts turned into a full fledged effort to create a new album. We had not written any fresh material in many years, yet we found ourselves driven to expression in this unprecedented time. Almost every original song here was sparked by some emotion of the quarantine, the political climate or the civil unrest that unraveled this past year. The cover songs were carefully chosen because we felt they evoked some of these strong emotions as well. The one exception is the title song "Orange," which was actually written years ago but was never recorded. We wrote it on a trip upstate sitting under the incandescence of Mars with a cute puppy named Orange, who's now a senior dog. (See cover image) But it seemed an appropriate title song when our city went to sleep under an Orange Zone blanket and woke up changed. All songs were recorded in a makeshift studio in our apartment and mixed by Anthony in Garage Band. Thankfully we are starting to move on from the terrible year that was and hopefully we can look forward to a better future where live music exists again. In the meantime, please enjoy our songs from the pandemic. Peace and love from A & A

Video - Recording "Better Than Before" thumbnail

Anthony and Alison began playing music together in 2005 under the moniker Group 7 along with percussionist/guitarist Brian Derr. The EP "Lost and Found," recorded in 2006 in Hoboken, is all original songs written by Anthony and Alison and recorded & mixed by Brian. We have included all these old gems here as well. Those of you who have known us since the early aughts may enjoy this blast from the past. To those of you hearing these for the first time, thanks for listening! These are the songs that started it all. --- A & A
