...Any music that's inspiring...
Over the course of the past year we’ve experienced a lot of different emotions and events; some negative and some positive. We’ve felt love, love that we all dream of, we felt the loss of that love; we experienced death with all the sadness and tears and everything else that comes with it and we also experienced birth of new lives. There was loneliness, and there was hope. Longing and achieving, worrying and caring. We felt scared and we felt confidence. We felt tears and we saw smiles. Through it all our music and our words were with us. Without them we’re not completely sure how we would have survived. This compilation of songs is a documentation of it all. At root it’s what art and music should be: pure honesty and pure emotion. We ask of you to let every word and every note, every sound, and every instrument run through your mind and take control for a moment. The only thing we can say to you is thank you for listening and supporting. As you listen to these songs take the time to take it all in and hear everything, to study and examine it. It all stands and stems from some emotion and occurrence in our lives that we’re now sharing with you, it makes us vulnerable in every sense of the word. We trust all of you to hear it. Turn the lights down, put on some headphones, close your eyes, turn it up loud and think of someone or something you love...something beautiful. Let it take you over.
"There’s something about the beauty of the Pepes’ melodies and the emotion with which they’re delivered, thanks in no small part to the vocals of Allison Modafferi on several tracks, that is wonderfully warm and welcoming." - Ken, Popdose.com
"I’d recommend a dark room, a silent night and your favorite headphones for this experience." - Kip, Rocksellout.com
"...you can feel free to let go of the day's burdens and let yourself float to the music." - Oded, Laughing Evergreens Music Blog
