Liner notes

Ravenous came hard on the heels of Retake The Art. The duo was playing out more, through the north Metro and Boulder, and the circle around them was growing. More voices came into the studio, and the record got bigger, darker and hungrier.

Amanda J (Amanda Ray) runs through it, on the title track, “We Don’t Know,” “Chaw,” “Sir Daddy” and “No Fantasy.” K Etter turns up on “Bang Boom” and “Misery Loves Company,” Broni on “Dustpan Words to Dustpan Dreams,” and Coco Devon, the unseen producer on “No Fantasy.” It closes by looking back, with a remix of “Retake The Art.”

Liner notes

Reverb And The Verse formed in 1999. The meet cute? They worked together, and almost by accident found that each had a talent the other needed to make music. Beats and rhymes … electronic hip-hop?

The method was set early. Shane made the music and sent over tracks with the vocals empty or nearly empty. The Verse wrote to them. Then they came together and recorded, and kept everything, especially the good ones. Those opening sessions became Retake The Art: the first record, where this journey starts.
