SnakeSkinHeart-WAHX5

BOOM! (Careful…once you start, you just can’t stop!— In all the best ways.)

chrisayer:

“Snake Skin Heart” is the B Side from my new single “Graduate”, and it’s out in a couple days, but I wanted to post it for you good people right now!

This song came out of a rough & weird time, and it helped me out a lot to write and recorded it, so I’m quite excited to be releasing it into the wild.

These are the sounds you are hearing:

Matt Simons: Piano, Bass Clarinet, Clarinet

Morgan Holland: Harmony Vocals

(It’s SUCH a bummer working with these two.  Psych.  

Their grade A emotional rock sauce chops are wonderful, and I fancy them both, quite a lot.)

I played acoustic guitar, did the stomping percussion, and sang.  Also, produced by me! (it’s exciting and new.)

Recorded by Danielle DePalma (who is AWESOME) at Seaside Studios

Mixed by Will Hensley (who is also AWESOME)

Old New EP! It’s all ready!

So I wrote some songs, I hummed them to myself for a while, then my friends told me I needed to record them. Fast forward to now (and a lot of time and work and fun from a lot of wonderful people I am lucky to know*), and the songs have turned into a 7-track album! They are all ready to be listened to! I’m SO excited! I hope you enjoy the sounds in your ears!

You can listen, buy, rip, share, steal, etc…

Amp from the studio, flowers from the garden outside of the studio and the corner of the Seinfeld Restaurant. Funny combo, but my little Diana lomography camera wanted to put all of these things together.

Subway Love

A little preview of my New EP that we just finished YESTERDAY! Here’s a new version of Subway Love with the whole band (a group of very talented, silly, and kind individuals).

I am really excited to share my songs and all of the work my generous friends (Chris Ayer, Greg Mayo, Matt Simons, Chris Anderson and Stephen Chopek) and I have put into creating them!

The whole EP should be out in the FALL! (Right now the tunes are resting, they are still newbies, awaiting to be mastered by magical masters). If you like what you hear and care to pass it along, that would be swell…If not, well, I still probably like you anyways.

Picture I took of my friend Vinny, with my new lomography camera! (I am in love…With the camera, and of course with my friend Vinny).
