The song was written and recorded completely independently by Chris and Chantelle during lockdown at their own recording studio. The Drums however, were tracked by Chris Brush in Nashville, TN. The track was Mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Rolling Stones, The Killers, Snow Patrol and many more).
Written by the duo the song started out as a title, melodic idea and a drum machine pattern. Since the beginning, the duo have kept with a routine of keeping a weekly allocated “writing session”. This is where the duo get together to focus solely on writing. They will swap ideas, show each other what they have been working on or start a brand new song together. This song was written over the course of two weekly writing sessions.
The premise behind the song is the hurt caused by a long-term relationship coming to an end. Despite promising never to hurt each other, in the end, they do. Those wounds take a while to heal, some never do. So, whilst they may be in a better place apart the wounds/bruises of the relationship will stay with them forever.
In something that has become something of a trademark, the duo enjoy putting darker lyrics with upbeat music.
Throughout the making of this song the duo experimented with sound and sonic textures. One such example of this is the percussion elements. Pinned against the live drum kit is a series of drum loops that were made by chopping up percussion sounds, processing and reversing the sound to create a interesting texture. Something the duo really enjoyed doing. Treating the recording studio like another musical instrument. Something they look forward to exploring more in the future.

2AM Call [Signed CD]£2.00
The song is written after a night out in a bar (The Parlour – mentioned in the song) where we observed a guy sitting at a bar talking to the bartender. He then went outside where he had an argument with a Girl. Minutes later He arrived back in to the same place and began talking again to the bar tender who began to console him.
We later found out that he had arrived with the Girl and they had just broken up. After witnessing this we thought that it would make a great narrative for a song. So after arriving back to Eilís’ apartment we wrote down the skeleton of the song. We constructed the narrative that the couple had broken up and in a distraught state the guy calls the Girl every night at 2am after drowning his sorrows asking for forgiveness. Wondering why She left him and dreaming of a way to get her back.
The song was finished after several writing sessions and a demo session where we fleshed out the arrangement.
