  • The Making of Crescent Nights - Part 3
    May 16 2025

    Join me and Greg Canty (host of the Win Happy podcast) as we pull back the curtain on the making of The 4 Of Us' latest album.

    Today we explore how lockdown transformed "Waiting Game" into reality with the creative input of our online audience. "Night Out of Town" chronicles a teenager's first taste of freedom, and we uncover the collaborative songwriting process behind "Tree Of Life." Plus: the brutal truth about tracks that got axed.

    From raw demos to masters—discover the journey of how "Crescent Nights" came to life.
