Energy and grit, with a sweet tooth for harmonies. A lyric armor and vocal sincerity that triumphs over tough topics as depression and separation.

Exercise the Spirit revisits the colorful songwriting of early RS (circa You & Me & Hell, 1995). These 5 songs tout a continued love for surprising melodies and rhythms, and vocals sung full-voice, or cautiously and up close. Mostly uptempo, these introspective songs push back against the dark forces of insecurity, depression, and separation. "Run to Hide" and "Lazy Bones" are direct conversations with the self-saboteur. Landmine is a love song to a dear one battling an impenetrable lowness. "Ageless Pill (Called Playing)" and "Exercise the Spirit" call out the crazy speed of life and the need to lean on more than humanness to be kind. "Exercise the Spirit" closes with the belief that in the end, the Spirit can transport us, transform us, if given the invitation.
