Members travisbrowning Posted August 1, 2017 Members Share Posted August 1, 2017 https://lazarusband.bandcamp.com/album/witchybaby I've been going through a tough breakup and ended up using some vacation hours to just sit and write music and record. I spent a long time programming drums and doing string arrangements and writing bass lines and it just was not working. After becoming so frustrated, I just deleted everything. I decided to just put up a one condenser mic in the middle of my room and just play the songs with an acoustic. One take. Then put a few overdubs over the top. It worked out surprisingly well, and its different than anything I've ever done. Very little reverb, no double tracked vocals (except in the choruses.) So here it is, warts and all. But hey, now I have more time to put my Jazzmaster back together, put a p90 in my Les Paul, write more music, listen to more music. Girls come and go, but music is always there.

Phil O'Keefe Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 "These songs may lack in production value, but I promise I put my whole heart into them." True heart-felt honesty is a rarer commodity than slickly produced material, which can be found just about anywhere. Honesty is much harder to come by. And yes, I enjoyed listening to the new songs. Thanks for posting them Travis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 3, 2017 Members Share Posted August 3, 2017 I think these songs are terrific, Travis! The lyrics, phrasing, pretty melodies, world weary delivery... it alll flows together perfectly. I have no idea what "emo" means. Sounds like a tag used by someone who forgets that melancholia, sentimentality, and vulnerability have been expressed in some of the best classic rock songwriting since The Beatles. You're songwriting style is classic, Bro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted August 3, 2017 Members Share Posted August 3, 2017 I listened to all of them. Lazy Lullaby sounded like it was missing some chord changes but beyond that well done. Sorry to hear about your breakup. They suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
