As promised, here’s my latest, hot off the presses.
There’s something satisfying about being able to release music quickly in this mod mad modern world, and somehow this track grew a life of its own before me just this month. Here’s the track description I wrote for it this morning on Bandcamp:
I recorded this at home two weeks ago with analog and digital gear. The song has been in the works for much longer, mostly in my head. I had the chords and melodies and some of the lyrics swimming about, til one day I felt inspired to track some drums and bass and guitars and see where that might lead. I recorded the vocal melody on guitar at first, as a sort of guide track, and once I had that, the rest of the lyrics came pretty easily. Once the song was complete and I had the vocals down, the track beckoned for tambourine and cowbell. So I picked up said hand-percussion instruments from a local music shoppe, took them home and and overdubbed them. By this time in the whole process, the song had pretty much mixed itself. So here it is, live on Bandcamp on Caturday the 17th of February. And I have it set to go live in the various streaming services exactly four weeks from today. Because this is how we roll, at Berkeley Cat Records. The cats and I wish you all a might fine long presidenty weekend, on top of the world.
