When Kurt and I set out to make his debut album 3 years ago we had a creative combustion that resulted in about 20 original songs. We chose what we thought were the best 10 songs to make up Brand New Beat while the other songs would appear on other releases and as bonus tracks in France and Japan. We've also included a couple of cover songs that we recorded during the same period. We wanted to share these songs with you and cleanse our palette as we begin the next Kurt Baker album. These are the Brand New B-Sides. - Wyatt Funderburk, August 2014
