Ways in Waves just released the new single "Gliese", and to celebrate we asked the project's multi-instrumentalist and music producer leader Brian Raine to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
Gliese, like many of my songs, was completed several times before I was actually happy enough with it to finalize the mix.
