McCain Chose Palin

GRYSKLL was three songs deep into a mini project called Project 2025 before it was cancelled. What didn't get shut down was the reason those songs got made in the first place. That and the need for more like them.

For close to a year after the last election, it seemed like something had silently shifted in everyone. Family, work, the news cycle, all of it sitting heavier than usual. Nobody wanted to keep talking about it, so mostly, they didn't.

Recognizing this made way for the project that looked like it was going to be abandoned to be revived with new purpose. We used the Creative Wellness practices we've been somewhat subconsciously developing thanks in part to GRYSpace. Understanding how to use music for healing has been helping us process what had been bottled up so we can better meet the moment.

The project became McCain Chose Palin, GRYSKLL's upcoming and first full-length album. Crafting and curating this has given the Crew something close to a relief valve, and it forged a firmer focus in the members who needed it most. It's the follow-up A Tension Deficit alluded to in its closing moments, and it's dropping on Election Day.
