SUTTLE was born many years ago while Tim Sutton and Mike Tuttle were working at WDST in Woodstock NY. They teamed up to produce audio and video for many local area events, including A Day in the Garden and Woodstock '99, where they were especially inspired by The Roots and Rage Against the Machine. High above Hunter Mountain on a ski lift, they envisioned doing music that would inspire them like many of the bands they had been recording.
With no roadmap for the sound they were after, they let the recording process evolve organically, switching off on a variety of instruments--they both play bass, guitar and keys, as well as program. The album came together over years of late-night hangout sessions at Tuttle's SoundLabs studio in the Shirt Factory warehouse in midtown Kingston. Without the usual pressures of studio clocks ticking and hiring an engineer and producer, the pair were free to spend as much time as they wanted to on creating their vision, while having fun. That vibe comes through on the tunes. While finalizing songs for the EP, the duo collaborated on music for several independent films and a rock musical.
