Traffic EP by Maids of Cadiz
After playing together for a few years, the Maids decided it was time we try to record some of our songs. "Traffic" was written a few years ago by Justin. Although it wasn't originally written to be played by the Maids, we quickly adapted it and turned it into one of our most popular tunes. "Set Free" was our attempt at a soulful Aretha Franklin-type song. "Coincidence and Consequence" dates back several years before the Maids of Cadiz existed, when a young Justin and Reed jammed out in Reed's house. "When I Look At You" is the newest song on the EP and is dedicated to Justin's cat, Sage. "The Leaves" is our ballad. We recorded the EP in Garrett's garage and Justin's basement.
The Maids of Cadiz would like to thank Jackson Wolf, without whom we couldn't have made the record. He generously lent us his recording equipment even as he was packing to move to North Carolina. Thanks for everything Jackson.
We would also like to thank Steve Ippolito for drumming with us during the formative years. Thanks go out to Jack-Matt Norton for providing us with a photo for cover art. Thanks also to Joe Venafro for designing our merchandise, despite the fact that at the time of this release, said merch has yet to be made. Finally, thanks of course to our families and friends for the support.
