I Thought You Knew

Here's another song from the new Coffee Sergeants album Racing Shadows. The drums, bass & guitars are live, take 2 or 3, no edits. Keys and vocals overdubbed the next day.
I wrote & forgot this bass line a couple times, and was fortunate to find the skeleton in a 10-second voice memo on my phone. Carey brought it to rehearsal on guitar and we beat on it a couple times, then set it aside for a couple months. When it came time to make the album, he sent out a demo, I scoured my phone, and built this bass track from that bit I found. It's so refreshing to be playing bass for someone who lets me be a professional. After we ran down the final version, I asked him what he thought and he just said "sounds great." The highest compliment anyone has ever paid me as a bassist happened 3 times from different peoiple on the same night when we debuted the album: "You sound just like Colin Moulding." I think I'm wearing that influence on my sleeve here. Album available at Bandcamp via Flak Records. Also Apple Music, Spotify, etc.
