In Fall of 2009, Monahans took a van load of recording equipment out to Van Horn, Texas and set up in an old hunting cabin on a friend's ranch. The goal was simply to capture the vibe and perhaps draw inspiration from the harsh contrast that exists where the rugged rock landscapes meet clear open skies, interrupted by the soothing motion of ominous steel windmills and the eeire silence of old trucks left for dead. It's the kind of time and space, the break from the norm, that you need sometimes to put everything in proper perspective. We plugged in, played loud, and walked out with a few songs that we decided to bring home and develop further.
So this was actually a success compared to The Plebeians attempt?
