After the Rouge moved to Nashville & started working with producers Adam Landry & Justin Collins (Deer Tick, K.D. Lang), they began using a very stripped-down approach, eschewing ProTools & other modern recording conveniences for an old-school, let's-do-it-in-one-take recording session. The songs took on a more organic feel, with warmer hues & an acoustic base. The band delved deeper into life for lyrical inspiration. If one thing stands out about Blurry, it's the maturity of the songs: while the energy of the band's early days is still present, the tracks themselves sound more thoughtful.
