“While separated from my band mates this last year, I decided to record a small collection of songs by myself in my little writing studio in South Minneapolis,” Simonett wrote in a post of Trampled By Turtles’ Instagram page. “Through some dark winter months these songs became an EP I’m calling Orion.”
“Central Hillside Blues” takes its title from a spot in the city that birthed Trampled By Turtles. “If you’ve spent any time in Duluth, MN you’ve no doubt at least passed through the area after which this song was named,” Dave explained. “It was written with those steep and crumbly blocks in mind and it was recorded pretty late at night.”
