Overnight Hikes
How long must we sing these songs? Until everyone sings along in unison. Are you proud of the roads you’ve paved? Are you proud of the paths you’ve made? For those who come after you or for those who might have less than you. I want to be proud of the paths we’ve made. I want to be proud of the roads we’ve paved. For a little one who I call “son” and well, everyone.

This is the first EP from Overnight Hikes.

After a few years of sporadic trial and error learning how to record sounds, this is how I've decided to introduce Overnight Hikes to everyone.

These five songs were recorded in my home studio in late 2019 and early 2020. I wanted to keep as much as I could in the DIY realm, but I decided to hand off the mastering work to someone who knew what they were doing.

Hope you enjoy listening to this record as much as I enjoyed making it.

-Chris
