The initial writing for SYZYGY began more than two years ago in the winter of 2008 when musicians and writers Parker Cason and Justin Maurer teamed up to help push each other creatively. They soon realized that they shared a special musical connection worth pursuing. The two spent most of 2009 writing songs together and singing them for friends around the house. Still, the sound they crafted in their heads felt unfulfilled. Taylor Zachry, a long-time friend and musical collaborator of Parker’s, joined their efforts and brought a new energy to the duo which helped solidify what would become the core of a changing line-up. Colorfeels was born. With the addition of multi-instrumentalist and texture auteur, Jared Ziemba, the sound of Colorfeels departed from its earthly origins, never to return. Soon after, they got a short-term lease on a house in West Nashville and spent five months at the beginning of 2010 writing, rehearsing, and performing live.

Flash forward to September of 2010. The band, joined by the young, talented drummer, Matt Scibilia, brought an entire studio’s gear to the Cason family home in Brentwood, Tennessee. The historic 18-acre property, called Forge Seat, served as a gun forge during the Civil War. Colorfeels camped out at Forge Seat for a week with friends/audio engineers Ben Klise and Andrew Darby. Between Forge Seat and two other studios in Nashville, the team crafted their debut; an 11-song full-length album to be released digitally and on 2x12” LPs on 180 Gram vinyl.

Now, joined by Florida-Tennessee transplant Dylon York on drums, Colorfeels is prepared and ready to support the album with regional and national tours, radio, internet presence and involvement. The band plans to spend summer 2011 working on development at home with plans to begin touring in late-summer/early-fall.
