Released in May 2024, the album “Just Out of Sight” is Linden and Ben’s first feature length project recorded out of Cornerstone Music and Café. Just Out of Sight is a culmination of Linden and Ben’s experience through music utilizing various styles through arrangements centered around the idea of Cryptids and Urban Legends. Each song depicts a separate Cryptid, seeking to give each one life in the listeners ears with wailing vocals, water like textures, slick slides, unnerving dissonance, and a tendency to wander into the unknown. For live performance, the tunes of the album are paired with curated cover songs that display the same eerie ambience as well as original tunes from other projects. Immerse yourself in the wilderness and understand that it may seem you’re alone, but there is something out there and it’s just out of sight. –Tizzard & Conroy
