New on Second Thought Records: Greg Jackson - The Golden Hour. Greg's debut EP is a mixed release, ranging from short acoustic songs, to mixed, looped guitarry instrumentals and Radiohead-sounding epics. 1. Untitled 1 2. Absent Attacks 3. Not Like You 4. Untitled 2 5. Untitled 3 6. When I Wear Red Things Go Bad 7. Horoscopes The Golden Hour was originally going to be released as a full band EP called Ricochet, but as time passed, I lost a drummer, and delved deeper into a wider taste in music than my initial indie rock beginnings, leading to a new selection of more optimistic songs written, as opposed to the teen angst-ridden material of the original tracklist. Untitled 1 was a number of short guitar ideas for different songs which never really worked, and ended up meshed together in a short instrumental. Absent Attacks are similar to epileptic fits, in which people blank out, the song itself is a Syd Barrett-esque stroll into the world of the slightly surreal. Not Like You is the only remaning song from the Ricochet era, and is a classic example of bitterness towards self-centered individuals who are seek personal gratification. Untitled 2 was a short jam, and after several attempts at studio recording, it was decided none captured the same feel as the original demo, recorded on a 2-track in my bedroom. That version appears here. Untitled 3 comes from original classical leanings, with a slight folky feel. The birds were initially intended to be slowed down, but left at the correct pitch after it was decided the track shouldn't sound evil. When I Wear Red Things Go Bad is a silly sentimental song, which is basically about the quirkiness you get when you like someone, and the paranoia that comes with it too. Musically, it was inspired by Rubber Soul-era Beatles and classic doo-wop chord progessions. Horoscopes is one my most recent, and probably most sincere songs, about a fictional girl who is wistful and deeply believe in fate, and when things go wrong, just accepts it. Helped strongly by Ross |
