This will probably get pulled, but this was the first cut we did using the reference track to try nail the vibes. It's such an incredible song. Not trying to piggy back off the news or anything, just wanted to highlight how much these artists influence people in ways that aren't always obvious.

The music we (asked @dangolding.com to do) heavily referenced for the Wood & Weather Whole trailer was this incredible track written by Brian Wilson for Glen Campbell. He was one of the best to ever do it.

We have a lovely article that gives some great insight into what our launch was like! Thank you to @scree.bsky.social for the write up!
