This song was a quick warm up for a studio session in New Orleans with some of my favorite people: Johnny Vidacovich (drums), Alex McMurray (electric guitar), Cassandra Falconer (bass), Lynn Drury (acoustic guitar), & Tim Stambaugh (engineer). Mixed by Charles Gammill, Modern Busker Productions.

Better (12-10-15 Live! PM)

Jesse Maclaine's Aural Elixir has been making unusual music for nearly 2 decades and surprisingly, this seventh release actually borders on normal, in the most exciting way. "Better" features five original Aural Elixir songs captured live at Herman's Hideaway in Denver, CO on 12-10-2015. These particular songs lean into the realm of pop, rock, and folk music while still embracing that singular Aural Elixir sound. 

Singer-songwriter-pianist Jesse Maclaine & Denver drummer Ryan Elwood have been performing together for quite a few years and have developed a tight groove and intuitive flow well suited to the semi-improvisational nature of Aural Elixir music. "Better" showcases this unusual duo's ability to fluidly transverse genres, weave a rich sonic atmosphere, and smash stereotypes of the female singer-songwriter variety. Considering the 8th release from Aural Elixir," Instant Octopus," is expected to be an avant garde adventure in 100% improvised solo piano music which leans heavily on Jesse's classical training, this EP "Better" was intentionally crafted (self produced by Jesse Maclaine) to be upbeat, fun, and heartfelt but with that carefree, cheeky aspect signature to Aural Elixir- in tribute to Jesse's two main influences Frank Zappa and Tori Amos. 

We are pleased to share this bootleg EP and we encourage you to support the arts by purchasing the downloadable version directly from Bandcamp. Your patronage helps us indie musicians continue to thrive and make the best art possible.

The wolf (Canis Lupus), also known as the gray wolf, timber wolf, western wolf, and its other subspecies, is a sovereign, legendary apex canine, native to the wilderness and remote areas of Eurasia and North America. 

They are notorious for their muted colors, beautiful fur ands eyes, agility, and distinct howling vocalizations, used to find or otherwise alert their pack members.

Wolf is a social animal, whose basic social unit consists of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring, and often other pack members. 

Know the truth. Wolf is a leader in nature.

Please love and respect animals.

About: A song to persuade Dweezil Zappa that I am not a groupie and maybe he should consider hiring me to sing in his band...or at least he should think about playing guitar on this song for fun, not money. I'm an indie musician, I don't have any money, lol.
