Curious Quail - Twelve Months - Retrospection
The final entry of "Twelve Months" drew the restrictions of 93bpm, 2 minutes or less (not counting YouTube bumper) and instrumental, so Joey took the themes and melodies from every song in the Twelve Months project and arranged them into this amazing jazzy piece. A fitting sendoff to the project!

"Twelve Months" was a year long songwriting project spurred by a last minute decision in January of 2018 by Mike and wouldn't have been possible without the support of the amazing members of the band and our special guests. The project featured:
Josh Hotlotsz on bass, Alan Chen on violin, Abe Myers on lead guitar, Erin Keely on vocals, Delicaye Shirley-Donnelly on vocals, Joey Guthrie on drums, percussion, piano and moral support, and lastly Mike Shirley-Donnelly on vocals, guitars, gameboys, keys and frankensteining all of these things together.
ALSO it wouldn't have been possible without the support of our families, loved ones and friends, most notably:
