26 MAY 2017 - Completed production of No Rainbows for After Hours

Background:

This track was heavily influenced by the classic Wicked Game, from Chris Isaak and it is quite obvious. It is a single from my band, After Hours and sang by my old friend Johnny Daniels. It has a simple arrangement and only a few instruments, with me playing the alto sax between verses, and featuring a solo later in the song. This was the first song ever released by After Hours online, and paved the way for the recording future of the band.

Theme:

The song is about a person that has lost hope while waiting for things to change for the better. The one thing you can depend on is for others to let you down.

01 MAY 2017 Completed production of Cheap Liquor for Mavin

 

Background:

Being always willing to try new challenges, Mavin agreed earlier to perform this funk style number. When I finally received his vocals and started to do the mixing, I could see that he worked really hard to fill up the sound with plenty of attitude - just as I wanted it 😎 Don't worry, this groove will for sure not give you any kind of a hangover! So go ahead...put it on repeat 🙂

Theme:

Nope, not about cheap liquor at all actually, rather a person that got caught up in being misused, but ultimately and weirdly seems to kind of OK with it.
