Courtney LaPlante shared her thoughts on the writing and tracking experience of piecing together ‘
Eternal Blue‘ over the last two years, sharing that:
“We are very anxious to release our album, it is a body of work we have been accumulating for over two years. Having the recording process put on hold for so long due to the pandemic has made me see that I can never take the experience of tracking an album for granted ever again. I must say that although we never intended to wait so long to do this record, I think it did help the songs become stronger. I am so happy with every single song, I wish I could release each one as a single with a music video. They all reflect different moments and influences in our lives. We have had enough time to release the exact music we would like to put out into the world, with no need to compromise. Every single note and every single syllable is the music that we have always dreamed of making and we are very proud of it.”

into the orem, utah, police department at about 11:00 p.m. that september night back in 2012. we got a call of a gunshot wound or some sort of injury. reporter: sergeant bill crook went to the truman home. so we all kind of rushed to our cars and headed that direction with lights and sirens. reporter: on the other end of the phone was conrad, kneeling on his kitchen floor covered in blood and consumed by panic. it was devastating. it was a nightmare. you can t even explain it. reporter: with one hand he held the phone. with the other, his bleeding wife. it was so hard. when it s your loved one like that. i had no i just did the best i could to try to keep her breathing. reporter: by then, conrad said he realized heidy had been shot in the head. when you went to heidy, did you see a gun? no. reporter: he remembered the pop he had heard and wondered if a stray bullet might have come through the bathroom window and
hit heidy. i was trying to think of the noise and how it wasn t very loud and, you know, maybe someone could have shot something at the house. reporter: it seemed farfetched but he said neighborhood vandals had recently been shooting the back of his house with paint balls. i was utterly confused. reporter: within minutes, sergeant crook arrived. conrad by now had moved to the doorway of his home to wave crook down. he had blood on his hands and he was screaming and shrieking. reporter: conrad led the sergeant through the front door, up the stairs, and then into a scene straight from a horror movie. i could see heidy laying there. she was naked, blood everywhere, just right at the top of the stairs, just this horrific scene. reporter: what s conrad doing? he s screaming and he s yelling. reporter: and, as these police photos make clear, covered in blood. i m asking him, like, conrad, what s going on? what happened here? he said, she was in the bathroom, you know, a
