He lived here for a while is the band's second album and the follow-up to 2022 Difficult year.
The album was affected by an accident suffered by guitarist Jake Ames shortly after the band's record release show in town. Difficult yearwhen he was hit by a car outside the venue and ended up in hospital with a fractured skull and tail, along with short-term memory problems.
“We were in the hospital with him every day,” frontman Tyler Jordan says in a press release. “It wasn't clear how bad it was going to be for Jake. We had no idea how this traumatic brain injury would affect him until the swelling went down. We even wondered if we would ever play music together again.”
Fortunately, Ames made a full recovery and, along with drummer Phil Dunne and new bassist Harrison Anderson, began recording He lived here for a while on Texas' Dandy Sounds with producer/engineer Dan Duszynski (of Loma and Cross Record).
Jordan had this to say about “If It's Gone” in the press release: “I'm divorced on the first day of the pandemic. 'If It's Gone' kind of opened the floodgates, and a lot of the other songs on this record were written later, so it feels very right that this is the first song on the record. I kind of hope I don't have to write any more breakup songs, and if this is the last one I ever write, I'd be fine. I feel really proud of that.”

2. Can you see me tonight?
3. Broken body
