Audio Bonus Content #10 - How We Made The Singing Sister

Published: July 17, 2016, 1 p.m.

Remember the song that Arlene sang to Gwen back in Chapter 6 and again in Chapter 9? We know at least some of you do, because you wrote in to tell us how much you loved it, and to ask whether it was available as a standalone track.
\n
\nWell...it is now! We re-recorded it with a new arrangement and live instruments. Head over to onceandfuturenerd.bandcamp.com to purchase it for $1 (or more if you'd like to be very kind. Patreon subscribers, check your Patreon feed for a coupon code to save 50\xa2.)
\n
\nAnd for today's bonus content, we talked to the talented folks involved for insight into making the song.
