mercy x chaos began in the middle of a very dark season. The first verse and chorus came out of that place, heavy but honest. Later, after the storm had passed, the song found new life with the help of Erika Fowler and Elessar Thiessen. Together, we carried it forward into something more whole.

Dan Russell’s pedal steel added a gentle, aching beauty that seemed to hold the song’s sorrow and hope in the same breath. In the studio, Eles guided the process with keys, bass, percussion, and wisdom—shaping the song with care and helping it become what it needed to be.

Looking back, mercy x chaos doesn’t feel like something we created as much as something we were entrusted with. It feels like a gift—and our hope is that it can be one for you too.
