“There Goes”

Posted in Lab

Project: Ashen Mix/Blisters
Status: Rough demo

Oh hell yeah – I love this f’ing song. Abandoned the original verse after a few suggestions from my good friend, JW, wrote most of the lyrics while driving a U-Haul from Oregon to L.A., and was inspired to write it while watching skateboarders in Budapest and London. Rich history for a song I believe sums up the direction for Ashen Mix.

This is one of the first tracks I worked on after setting up my basic home studio and a decent representation of where the new music is headed. Lots of focus on rhythm, guitar taking more of a color role. No acoustic here and I don’t expect any on the final tracks.

Anxious to start working on final performances as there is a bit of copy and paste going on. Helped when working out the arrangements, but far too sterile for anything final.

I think it’s all pretty damn interesting. Nervous about feedback, admittedly.
