Reinventions

Karl Schwonik

Released Sep 27 2019

“The act of invention can take many shapes and forms. Creating something where there was once a void, identifying an opportunity and maximizing the potential therein, changing the world by bringing a newness not experienced before. Reinvention however is another concept altogether: there is preexisting material, something came before, creation already occured.”

-Karl Schwonik, 2019

Karl Schwonik, Chris Andrew, Kodi Hutchinson and Brent Mah have been inventing together for over a decade. This album is inspired by their journey together and each band member’s personal growth throughout the years. Karl speaks fondly about this quartet, “Like any healthy relationship, we have grown apart and conversely come back together again when it mattered.”   In Reinventions, the band revisits songs they have played before like “What to Say” (Music Box, 2008), “Furnace Man” and “Green Line” (Visions from the Farm, 2010). Five of the tracks are interpretations of “Term Break”. This short piece composed by Schwonik is reimagined each time, reinforcing the theme of the album and giving each player a chance to express his individuality. Karl, Chris, Kodi and Brent have each experienced major life changes in the past 10 years such as touring the world, furthering their education and starting a family. They bring their life experience to Reinvention creating something new out of something familiar.
