04 Saint's Temper

The End of Everything

This song is about the aftermath of a breakup and is about the feeling of processing the breakup over a long drive and while arriving home - hence the titular "pulling into Prairie Avenue". It was recorded at Earwig Studios in Seattle and features some bouncy intersecting electric guitar lines as well as expansive choruses that highlight the line "I always saw the best in you, leaving no chance to improve"

Lyrics
I’m not one for the books. There’s nothing unique about sticking ‘round like this.
But I was rooting for Rose to jump. Free in the ocean, if that’s the only kind of free you’ve got.

My heart keeps me up all night.

In this land, and in this millennium, we can have it all.
But I don’t want it all. I just want you. 

My heart keeps me up all night.

Jump

“Of all the bands exploring shoegaze in Seattle, Guest Directors are perhaps the best at getting the balance of mood and power right.” 
-Nada Mucho

Guest Directors’ spooky and soulful music evokes images of evergreen silhouettes, dreamy breezes, and the power of seemingly perpetual precipitation. Their third EP, “Dream the Currents,” is the next step in what has amounted to an annual progression of EPs demonstrating harmonic, rhythmic, and stylistic explorations that hover around a familiar sonic center.

These five songs span from Teenage Fanclub-like jangle, the reverb-drenched pop of The Cure, to some unexpected turns in the spirit of bands like Autolux. More shoegaze-adjacent than stalwart standard- bearers of the genre, Guest Directors' confident chemistry and ambitious spirit eschew typical routes in favor of new paths.

Their kaleidoscopic instrumentation is comprised of delightfully tangled Jazzmasters and moody vocals, as well as volatile drumming and propulsive bass work. The group has mastered its musical surveillance, recognizing each bit of sonic space as an opportunity for attention, examination, and artful refinement. Collaborative songwriting unveils surprises, especially on key tracks "Parachute On" and "Minor Mendings”.

Dream the Currents

Parachute On

This is a song about frustration of an unresolved argument; when you go to bed and you are too uneasy to sleep, but can't work through the particulars of the fight to find a solution. Some of these arguments fade overnight and some compound into greater relational issues that ultimately lead to a split, but neither potential resolution diminishes the angst of an uncompleted disagreement.

Lyrics
I've got a problem and it shares your name 
I've got a problem and it keeps me up at night 
Ooh, it keeps me up at night 

I've got a problem and it shares your face 
I've got a problem and I don't know where to start 
Ooh, it keeps me up at night 

And I try, but I feel uneasy 
And you turn with your back towards me, uneasy 

I've got a problem and it shares your name 
I'm in trouble and I don't know what I've done 
Ooh, it keeps me up at night 

I say I'm sorry and I don't know why 
It's hard to mean it when you don't know what it's for 
Ooh, and so I stare at the ceiling 

And I try, but I feel uneasy 
And you turn with your back towards me, uneasy 

And I try, but I feel uneasy 
And you turn with your back towards me, uneasy
