The band finished recording their first full-length "Moon Digby" in the summer of 2010, overseeing mixing at the legendary Cutting Room studios in New York City with producer Anthony "Rocky" Gallo (The Killers, Cymbals Eat Guitars, The Xx). Goodman Brown followed up the release with multiple performances at 2010's CMJ Music Marathon.
Shortly after releasing "Moon Digby", Goodman Brown completed a Christmas themed EP, favoring a more D.I.Y. lo-fi approach, recording most of it in the abandoned childhood home of keyboardist, Alex Russo. This quick succession of releases helped the band fuel a tour to Austin for SXSW, where their fast-paced high-octane performances turned heads.
Since returning from tour, and graduating from college, the group has been hard at work perfecting new material for a forthcoming EP that the band plans to record and produce entirely on their own, focusing largely on the post-college experience. Recording is going to be split between a hundred-acre farm in Hop Bottom, Pennsylvania, and a tiny cabin situated just outside Cooperstown, New York.
Upon completion of the new EP, the band expects to hit the road, planning to spend the majority of 2011 touring.

Inside of You
Goodman Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
You and I are as close as two is two three
And we're growing closer together
We found that magic seed, better than love
And it will grow forever and ever
(CHORUS):
Every day love grows (every day love grows)
Deeper and deeper
I just want to get inside of you
Oh, I wanna be more than a part of you
'Cause loving you the way that I do
(Repeat 1st verse) [2x]
Our love is like a house on a firm foundation
That's standing on solid ground
We build a wall of love and trust all around us
And no one can tear it down
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT 1ST VERSE)
Seems like I just
Can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT 1ST VERSE)
Seems like I just (seems like I just)
Can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
Seems like I just
Can't get close enough to you (to you)
Because I love you so much
Seems like I just
Can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
[2x]
Seems like I just
Can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
It seems like I just
Can't get close enough to you
Because I love you so much
