The band recorded “State Of Mind” during Ricky’s trip to Roma, where the environment deeply influenced the song’s uplifting vibe. “The way of life in Roma brought an uplifting aspect to the track as the aromas and song came together, sitting upon a rock enjoying all that was around… the spontaneity of life,” says Ricky. This sense of place and moment is palpable in every note, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the track.
As a music curator at PopHits.Co, I can attest to the unique quality of Canning’s production. “State Of Mind” is a testament to their meticulous workflow, combining the micro and macro elements in harmony.
Each track is recorded live in the same room, capturing not just the music but also the banter and camaraderie among the band members, making the editing process both hilarious and endearing. This organic method adds a layer of authenticity rarely found in today’s polished productions.
