"I said that with Beneath Medicine Tree, I wanted to make a record that moves people,” singer/ Aaron Marsh explains. “With In Motion, I wanted to make a record that makes people move.” As Marsh explains: “We wanted every song to sound different and get some more non-traditional sounds.” One of In Motion's moving highlights is “Pin Your Wings,” which fires off with sure-fire pop rock power pomp, breaking right into melodious verses that instantaneously etch themselves into the listener's memory. Another standout, “Kite”, exhibits Copeland at its most naked and vulnerable, utilizing an accordion to give the track its vintage warmth and charm. As Marsh simply puts it, “We wanted the song to sound old.” But it's more a testament to the band's discerning ear for the most minuscule of sounds in the studio. “Brian and I are total freaks about guitar tones,” Marsh says. “That could make or break a record for us.” Before committing their material to tape, many of the songs of In Motion were first road tested to ensure that it didn't just meet the band's expectations—but their fans’—on wildly successful tours with Switchfoot and underground rock veterans Sparta. - militiagroup
