The Making of The Otherside. 12/12/25. 🖤
Back in January of this year, I got together with my friends and recorded my most recent EP, ‘The Otherside.’
The amazing @elijahsettles captured the time that we spent nearly snowed in at @curbstudio making rock music. I wouldn’t trade that time for anything and i’m so excited you all will get to take a look inside at the making of my EP this Friday.

At the very beginning of this year, not too many days after Christmas, it snowed briefly and then I wrote this song. Full song is on YouTube under the title “The Late Christmas Song by Elijah Settles”
Sleepwalker by @hardlydavidsonofficial
Earlier this year I slept walk in a hotel in London. It was embarrassing. It was weird. It was something that had never happened to me before but switching beds every other night was disorienting.
When I was in high school I dreamt of being like the expats of the early 20th century. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Monet, ee Cummings; all those guys. And these days I think I’m as close as you can get to that. I’m incredibly grateful.
The song you’re hearing is a demo of a song I’m working on called Sleepwalker. It’s a time capsule for me of this chapter of life. If you want to hear the full demo it’s on my YouTube
David Ramirez and Dylan Leblanc @ the Basement East (Jan 22, 2025)
Ramirez has been one of my favorite songwriters for many many years. This one was a real special one for me.
Been a while for a mecoclub post. Where to begin? This last year has been full of music and friends and places. We couldn’t be more happy to see such a combination of our two passions come together in such a harmonious way (😉)
@jamesbrunerofficial has kept us busy traveling the world for the last 12 months amongst other new friends and we’re so grateful to be here for it.
Here’s to many more songs and just as many videos in our futures.

Though I’ve been fortunate to visit many beautiful places it’s been a while since I’ve looked at a landscape and felt compelled to take its photograph for no other reason than to document the feeling it gave me.
Happy to announce I will be starting the recording of my album title War & Peace this coming winter and will release sometime in 2025.
This has been a long time coming and a unique journey as I’ve been meandering through various filmmaking projects with my business partner @lukewelchel and supporting other music artist in management capacities like my good friend @james_bruner
Though none of those are off the table I plan on using the slower season in the winter to really delve into my own music and put out a project that’s been weighing on me for a while
I’m releasing all of the demos I’ve recording over the years onto @bandcamp as a Name Your Price project and any and all fund received will be dedicated to the remaining gear I’m saving for.
Thank you to all who have supported me along the way and gotten me to this point. You know who you are and I love and cherish you all very greatly. I can’t wait to get this thing out into the ether.
- Elijah
