Rabbit Holes by Damon Hill published on 2012-09-07T10:47:44Z We're finally back with a new one called "Rabbit Holes" - sorry we took so long! This track has some tricky fingerpicking in it, made even harder by using a guitar with a wicked straight neck. Best thing to do was to record it live to get the timing right, and then we added a couple layers in after the fact. There are a lot of wildlife references in this one though I didn't start writing it with that plan in mind. That's just where the song wanted to go, and I'm actually pretty glad that it did. Hope you like it!
