It's a problem that has plagued songwriters since the advent of multi-track recording: how do you make something lush and expansive in sound and arrangement yet intimate and relatable in spirit and performance? The answer is found on Copeland's third full-length release, Eat, Sleep, and Repeat, a beautifully dense sonic workshop of layered strings, aching melodies, and towering vocals that sounds as if it were made in your living room.

"We wanted everything to be really organic and not really rely on a lot of different programs and MIDI's," explains lead vocalist and songwriter Aaron Marsh. "We wanted to play everything, because we wanted to accent the things about the instrument that you don't think about being musical like fingernails on the keys and bow noise on a violin. We didn't edit out the fret noise on the guitars. We wanted to keep in the stuff that you don't normally think of as musical, because they are part of the instrument and what happens when you play." Guitarist and fellow-songwriter Bryan Laurenson adds, "We focused a lot more on individual parts and moods this time around. We used a lot of instrumentation that we had never tried before." - thecopelandsite.com
