Two ideas emerged: forming of a new musical project they called Feverdreams and an in-home recording studio, Kindred House Studio.

 

After working musically together for the better part of a decade, Weisberg and Jacobs had a type of secret language only they could understand. They began writing and producing their own songs, seeking a more blue-collar, “DIY” approach than previously done.
