COLD
IGNITION
Human songwriting. Machine ignition. Larry Hicks and Houston Andrews write it — the signal chain between guitar string and generative synth finishes it. Ten tracks, one duo, no template.
Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.
Chasing Dragonz almost didn't happen. Larry and Houston were high school friends in Virginia who lost touch for years — Larry chasing blues gigs around Texas, Houston out on the road through Europe under the name Saint, bouncing between Brussels, London, France, and the Isles of Scilly. They reconnected online almost by accident and spent the next three years trading songs and ideas across the Atlantic. Along the way Houston lost almost everything to addiction — and when the darkest hour came, Larry showed up. Houston got clean, moved out to Larry's place in Round Mountain, TX, and the two of them made it official.
Here's what makes them different: they write and play everything themselves, then bring in AI to help build the sound out — textures, layers, production moves a two-piece songwriting duo couldn't pull off alone. Not a shortcut, not a gimmick, just a new instrument in the room. Blues roots, alt-rock nerve, and a sound nobody else on the bill is making right now.
How a Track Gets Built
01 — 03 / SIGNAL CHAINSongwriting & Performance
Every song starts on guitar, at the ranch or over a late-night call — lyrics, melody, and the blues-rock backbone are written and performed live by Larry and Houston, tracked straight into Logic to build the first real demo.
AI-Assisted Sound Design
That demo gets uploaded and reworked — sometimes for days — inside Suno: sculpting textures, layering atmosphere, and pushing arrangements somewhere a two-piece songwriting duo couldn't reach alone, always in service of the song, never replacing it.
Mixed, Mastered, Released
Final passes are human-judged — every track earns its place on the record by ear, not algorithm. What ships is Chasing Dragonz, not a preset.
