‘Join Me in the Pines’ was written and recorded over a year and half while on and off the road. Join Me In The Pines is a return to the somewhat isolated creative process under which his debut album,Kill Your Darlings , was made. This time around the process benefits from a newly built home studio

Talking about the project's name Geraghty has said "At this stage in my career I wanted to change the name under which I release my solo work, to evoke a world where the music lives, instead of it being anchored to reality by a person’s name. ‘Join Me in the Pines’, came about from the imagery that in part inspired the songs and in part was evoked by the developing mood of the album. Leixlip, the place where I’m from, was at the time a real green belt. Until two multinational computer factories came to town and sped up the urban sprawl that was inevitably going to pop that little towns cherry. Maybe it’s the age I’m at but I had started to reminisce on my youth more and more. Days when I’d be gone from home first thing in the morning on my trusty steed (me BMX) until dinner time in the evening. So, ‘…in the Pines’ came easy. I think the place that you grew up and have certain experiences, they leave an indelible mark"
