Overlay couldn’t resist letting a couple sample tracks from their upcoming self-titled album slip for your listening pleasures.
Please keep in mind that these are raw, unmixed bed tracks with vocals only present as a guide track for when final vocals and harmonies are added. You can hear both songs, “Say Anyway”, and, “You’re Crazy” from the Overlay MySpace or Facebook pages.
