Tall Hours In The Glowstream

Cotton Jones' Tall Hours in the Glowstream marks an exciting new chapter in the band's young career. After spending most of 2009 supporting their debut, Paranoid Cocoon, Cotton Jones' Michael Nau and Whitney McGraw decided it was time for a move. The band now splits time between its new base of Athens, GA and its hometown of inception, Cumberland, MD. As for the creative process for Tall Hours in the Glowstream, some of the songs that made the final cut were tracked in northern states, while the majority were recorded and mixed in Winterville, GA, where a revolving cast of players, thinkers, and singers were invited to hang in the band's living-room studio. While Paranoid Cocoon found the band lending itself to the occasional lengthy jam, Tall Hours finds Cotton Jones reigning in the songs for a more succinct pop feel. The resulting sounds are rich and charmingly lo-fi, full of vivid imagery and gorgeous vocal harmonies, and makes Tall Hours in the Glowstream the band's most accessible album yet.
