Angel had already been working with a variety of acoustic guitarists and singer-songwriters, so the opportunities were obvious. And as luck would have it, Jason had a hook and a chorus with no verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Truth be told, Jason had hit a wall with this song. The verses he tried to write were weak. Giving the song new life with a collaboration was the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Jason recorded a demo with the verses blank, sent that to Angel, and the core idea came to life a few days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Angel had a gig a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/humantradition\/\">Human Tradition<\/a> and while he had not planned to do this song that night, when Jason showed up he borrowed a guitar and they ran through it on the sidewalk outside. They did this early version that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"City Trees - Street Demo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nfbHfVE5Pf8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Video credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/argee202\">Ross<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Things came together quickly after this. Jason recorded an updated version on the grid at 92 BPM and some simple drum loops. Then Angel got them some time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mansionstudiosnyc.com\/\">Mansion Studios<\/a>. After that they both took another pass at their vocals using Jason's home studio setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Bucket's mixing engineer <a href=\"https:\/\/gordonhighland.com\/\">Gordon Highland<\/a> added the rest to make this single launch, adding real bass, synth bass, and more drums to the choruses. See also his post <a href=\"https:\/\/gordonhighland.com\/2024\/10\/city-trees-single-mix\/\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This song will rise again with a different mix once Angel's album comes out. Definitely stay tuned for that!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a rock\/rap collaboration!
