The second single from the Moth To Flame project was let loose upon the internet on Wednesday. “Cinder” is one of our favorite tracks on the album. It has an eerie quality to it that took over early in the process. Dave has his own meaning for the lyrics he wrote and I have my own interpretation of what the song is about as well. We hope the listener finds their own meaning.

This whole album has been an experiment of sorts. We both just wanted to create something together, something that was unequivocally ours by melding our sensibilities together. It’s certainly not perfect like a AAA studio album and we knew that’d be the case from the start. We did our best to not chase the perfect take, although a couple songs did elicit that from us towards the end.

Mixing and mastering. To me they are almost one in the same. I think a really good mix probably doesn’t need to be “mastered” per se. I just try to keep an eye on clipping and watching my frequencies so that everything that’s in the song has a nice little spot to sit in the spectrum. Sounds easy I guess but sometimes I get so full of doubt about my ability that I start to overthink and run in circles. But I think I’ve leveled up with this project as I’ve modified my workflow within FLStudio to be more efficient. I made it a mantra to “don’t get it perfect, get it done”.
