 Jordan Lehning, son of noted producer Kyle Lehning produced the band's first studio effort, "Mode to Joy", recorded in an abandoned 1800s firehouse throughout 2005.“I almost look at 'Mode to Joy' as a memory…a lot of the songs on the first album I wrote when I was really young, in my early teens.Mode To Joy [serves as] a photo album of the past, once we were given the resources to basically…do anything sonically, we just naturally and organically progressed…” said Jase Blankfort.
