This whole thing started as something of a joke between myself and I. I found myself sitting on my floor with my guitar, pedalboard, amp, and This Will Destroy You's self-titled album playing in the background during finals week of 2010. I was stressed.
Used up. Freaked out. The semester had been a blur of jazz, church gigs, poems, short stories, novels, esoteric discussions, and emotional rollercoasters. I was in need of a reprieve. A moment of quiet.

That's how "A Few Days Underwater" started.
The whole point behind "A Few Days Underwater" is the hope that you will be lifted out of whatever you're dealing with. That last ditch effort to breathe when it feels like there's nothing left. It's only six songs, but within that half hour or so of music, I found myself mourning, celebrating, questioning, and eventually, breathing after what felt like ages.

We Are Pioneers exists because we want to communicate a message of hope without ever saying a word. Thanks to Jeremiah Gunderson, Sam Billew, Corbett Hoxworth, and Jonathan Bautista for making it possible.
