Grow is the debut studio album by American progressive rock band Chon. It was released on March 23, 2015, through Sumerian Records.[2][3] It was the band's last release to feature bassist Drew Pelisek.[4] The album is not only home to new compositions, but also ones that we’ve heard before in some shape or form. ‘Knot’, ‘Suda’ and ‘Echo’ (formerly ‘Ecco’) are all pulled from the bands second EP, Woohoo!, while ‘Perfect Pillow’ was a track that had appeared in 2010 on the bands MySpace page.[5]
