Eric Urbach (States of Nature)

SPB: Which song that you wrote are you most proud of (and why)?

Urbach: States of Nature has been working on a new LP now for quite some time, and I feel most proud about the fact that we were able to put together a fantastic, cohesive body of work that I believe will resonate. We've started playing some of these new songs live and have already seen them get people's attention. If I had to pick one, it would be the song "Brighter Than Before," because that was the first one in this batch that inspired the rest of the record and sort of set a benchmark for us to hit. We can't wait to share what we've been working on with you!
