The cover feature followed Still Moves, a band whose lineup came together across a decade of friendship. The project took off about a year earlier when Hunter messaged Greene songs he and Colling had been working on, and Greene sent back songs he and Frost had been developing, with Bo joining on drums. The name took nearly as long as the music — “It took us forever to come up with the name Still Moves,” Hunter said, after they passed on The Smoking Jackets and Space Station Fundraiser.
Recorded in Ike's basement studio, the result was a six-song EP the band itself found hard to categorize: “I think it's a rock album,” Colling offered, while Greene landed on “Americana-driven, but with rock aspects throughout.” “Plant Therapy” profiled a new local store, My Plant Therapy, and the idea behind it — that there is real calm to be found in tending houseplants, a quiet, hands-in-the-soil comfort owner Tracy hoped to share.
The recurring departments round out a May number with a distinctly homegrown, creative flavor — a band recording in a basement and a shop built on the meditative work of keeping things alive, both stories of Clarksville creatives making something personal.
The band's name came harder than the music. “It took us forever to come up with the name Still Moves,” Hunter said — possibly inspired by a My Morning Jacket album, after they passed on The Smoking Jackets and Space Station Fundraiser. The project itself had come together about a year earlier when Hunter messaged Greene songs he and Colling had been developing and Greene sent his own back; Hunter and Colling, though not from Clarksville, had known each other since college, more than a decade by then.
