With nights growing longer, the holiday’s upon us, and the heaviness of the
recent election still looming overhead, Spillway’s fresh gem “first of december” captures the weight of the moment painted by the ordinary scene of an unmotivated couple who’ve spent “just another day, where our hearts weren’t in it.” Unfolding from simple plucking into a busy, guitar-driven soundscape feeling like a head full of thoughts, “first of december” closes out an exciting year on a bittersweet note for twin-brothers Aaron and Wyatt Mones of Spillway.

About the band:
It’s spring 2002 in Woodstock, New York, when shy and quiet twin brothers Aaron and Wyatt Mones find a way to speak to the world and begin what will become a life-long obsession with the one thing they can’t live without...making music. Starting in a small garage on Spillway Road, the Mones brothers have grown their talents through years of playing in different bands and producing music for others amassing over 5 million streams to their credit. Now split between New York and Los Angeles, the twin-brother singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalists bring it all home under the artist project named after the very street where it all began over two decades ago; they are, Spillway. With a nostalgic folk pop sound akin to that of Blake Mills tastefully crafted around whimsical, idiosyncratic lyrics inline with those of Frank Ocean and Sufjan Stevens, Spillway delivers a fully-realized artistic vision rooted in the truest belief that music says more than words. Already landing in an Apple Music editorial, a VEVO editorial, and amassing over 220,000 streams across their first three singles, the duo’s fourth original, a sad song about not being excited for the most joyful time of the year titled, “first of december”, drops December 13th, by way of the Indiana-based independent label, Wally OpusRecords.
