The Swon Brothers surprised fans with an independently-released, six-song EP titled Timeless on Friday (Jan. 29). It’s the first collection of new music from the duo since their self-titled 2014 debut on Arista Nashville.
The brothers contributed to the songwriting and played most of the instruments on the album. Production duties were shared with Derek George and bandmate Joe Henderson. Former contestants on The Voice, The Swon Brothers are best known for their hit, “Later On.”
“I don’t think we set out to create a certain sound for this record,” said Colton Swon, “But we did set out to let what we were feeling be heard, and we kind of really put our brains and minds to work and asked, where do we live, where do we feel comfortable singing, and what makes us shine the most? It really embody’s our heart and soul. Plus we had the opportunity to co-write every song on this new EP and it makes a real difference for sure.”
“Artists naturally evolve over the years and people’s sounds naturally change a little bit, but I think we’ve found a musical sweet spot, where we like to sing and play, and at this time it just happens to be capturing music with a little soulful flair,” said Zach Swon. “We put of ourselves into this record, recording much of it in our home studio and playing instruments on the majority of the tracks. A lot of love went into this record, and we hope our current fans like it and that we make some new ones because of it.”
