After a year of three regional and one national tour, featuring a revolving door of membership, Saxon Shore recorded "Four Months of Darkness" at home (upstate NY) and with Georgia's Jamie Bozeman. With original members Matthew Doty (guitar, piano) and Joshua Tillman (drums) living in upstate NY and Seattle, WA respectively, the songwriting process became an exchange of 4-track demos. After the release of this album the band set out for over one hundred and sixty shows in support. This record built on the minimal, melodic accessibility of their first release, "Be a Bright Blue", allowing meandering song structure and brooding tension throughout the unsettled beauty of its instrumental tale of struggling duality.
