I think I’m writing a country album. No, really.
\nOn Thursday night, I recorded music for "What I Deserve<\/a>". The reverb on the guitar makes it sound like New Order, but the distorted guitar in the chorus keeps it from diving too deeply in New Wave. But what does it really sound like?
\nThe following night, I did the music for \u300c\u4eca<\/a>\u300d, and it felt like something familiar — not exactly Caitlin Cary, but that was my first instinct. As it turned out, I was channeling Camper Van Beethoven’s "Sweethearts", and \u300c\u4eca\u300d became a country song. Hearing it together with "What I Deserve" put the latter song in a new context.
\nAnd that violin sounds kind of nice. So now I want to use it when I can.<\/p>\n


\nToday, I recorded music for \u300c\u5065\u5fd8\u75c7<\/a>\u300d, and I threw in the violin in, even though it doesn’t really sound very country. The chord progression itself doesn’t come close to a country song. It’s an interesting piece though.
\nI also recorded \u300c\u5149\u304c\u306a\u3044<\/a>\u300d, which was really an outtake from Revulsion<\/em>. It’s definitely not country, but it’s probably a bit too close to Number Girl’s \u300c\u771f\u663c\u9593\u30ac\u30fc\u30eb<\/acronym>\u300d.
\nBut just a while ago, I started a few measures of \u300c\u8de1\u306a\u3057<\/a>\u300d, and the violin is back, sounding as country as ever.
\nDon’t believe me? Take a listen:<\/p>\n
