In late 2003, with more than 20 songs completed, The Race approached electronic duo Telefon Tel Aviv to help produce a new record. Self-admitted studio-perfectionists and highly acclaimed for their electronic composition, Telefon jumped at the opportunity to work on a group of songs that were raw yet completely written. Over the course of two months, The Race and Telefon broke down the music to its essential elements and then began to build it back up again. The Race's preference for simple song structures and dynamically powerful writing, combined with the exquisite production of Telefon Tel Aviv, has resulted in the stunningly beautiful "If You Can" - an album that shows a band ready to make its mark.
"Sinking Feeling" appears on The Race's most recent release "If You Can", out now on Flameshovel Records (www.flameshovel.com).
This is one of those "nostalgic" songs for me. Loved it when I found it, still love it now.
