And the songs are said to be built around an Elliot Smith and Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon strategy. Plenty of guitars, harmonies and production but no bass or drums. Asked about this approach, McElhenney responded. “The song Disappear represents a pivotal moment in my life. There’s a rock record coming, but I felt I had to present the context around that one song. The single vocal and guitar version was recorded in one pass, as a scratch track, and it actually captured the song perfectly. Even the mistake is as it should be.”

The first two tracks were about 90% competed for Are You Feeling Anything Yet? but had to be dropped for lack to budget. The 3rd track was originally planned for a Beatle’s compilation disc that never happened. And the final track was remixed from the original files by the Martin Dust Devils team.

I think these bands and songs sort of typify the term “darker side of pop” that I use in conjunction with Buzzie. Cause I’m Pop and I’m Rock and I’m Americana and … And I want to ROCK darker!
