Another song from the upcoming album. Somber, dark, and frightening.
The songs from this album are really in quite a new direction for me. I’m trying consciously to pare down the sound, to make things rawer, plainer, less sterile, more homemade. That goes for the songs themselves – I’m trying to trim down the chord changes, middle sections, and extra parts. It’s pretty tough. There’s a strong tendency to hide behind lots of notes and chords, from the songwriting point of view, or behind layers and layers of sound, from the recording end.
I want this album to be stark, plain, bare, honest, cold, sad, and beautiful. The image in my head is of bare trees in late February, in the precious hours of cold, limp sunlight in Leningrad.
