'49 by Raynes
The title '49 is inspired by the American gold rush of 1849, in which nearly 100,000 people flocked to California in the hopes of staking a claim and striking gold. The EP employs this historical event as the backdrop against which the songs are set, both sonically and lyrically. For Raynes, this thematic concept shares many similarities with their own journey as a band-leaving their hometowns and loved ones, moving to California, and enduring the risks and uncertainties of the music industry as they try to stake their own claim and "strike gold."
