Album Bio:
The Half a Mind To Stay (HAMTS) album was recorded by Daniel Whittington, Darren Clarke, Phil Siems, and Ryan Allshouse under the band name Rhodes.
The process of songwriting and reworking the music to prepare for the recording took almost 3 years. In today's world where technology puts no boundaries on creativity, Rhodes cared the most about the authenticity of their work and capturing the presence and energy they are known for.
They wanted to create something with similar boundaries and technical limitations to their heroes - Van Morrison, Cream, Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley.
So the album was recorded in the old school fashion, as a band, with no studio trickery. All tracks were laid down in solid and complete takes with no overdubbing. The results are raw and organic with two guitars, bass, drums, vocals and lots of heart.
