Fitting today that Status/Non-Status dropped a surprised EP called January 3rd via You’ve Changed Records.
Follow-up to 2022’s Surely Travel, this 3 track EP is more on the acoustic folk rock winter vibe sound.
About the EP by Adam:
“January 3rd” is a song of reflection, “a call to a more natural way of existing but trapped within the busy people, streets and lights of a broken city,” says Sturgeon. “I wrote this while living in Flint, Michigan and it was the first song we recorded for Surely Travel, where in a song we are all just trying to be free.”
“Johnny’s Song” could be about “any kid, anywhere,” Sturgeon continues. “In this case a specific kid – Johnny, who was trying his best to persevere despite a harsh reality at home, each day bringing a new challenge but finding hope within the cold terrain of the Arctic tundra and being on the land.”
And the EP concludes with “Glide”, “a dedication to our dear mother, mentor and friend who slipped into the ice and never came home,” says Sturgeon. “Emotions got the better of me through tracking so I walked away from the song and left it unfinished. Still can’t listen to it to this day.”
