How the sound took shape

The Peace Battalion began as a music project built around the recordings themselves. The early work focused on finding a sound that could hold its own on record, shaped through repeated listening, revision, and careful attention to what each track needed.

Context matters here, but the music comes first. The recordings document the project's development, and the notes that accompany them are meant to clarify the process rather than replace the listening. Explore the music to hear where these ideas landed, then return here for the background behind them.
