Wow, oh how I've missed your voice Jmoney

somehow reminds of Fripp/ Belew....sorry I don't like to compare but there you go

I am so grateful to have connected with you here, really dig your musics.

oh yea.  been a while since i've listened to this

     Still buzzing from a week immersed in songwriting following last year's SongStudio–in true form–I couldn't sleep.  On the back porch of my stuffy apartment, I uncorked a bottle of wine and started picking what was to become "Archetype X."  I wrote and recorded this song on a guitar I have since lost (also in true form); making this the last song recorded on an acoustic that meant a great deal to me.
     At this time, I found myself thoroughly revisiting Patrick Rothfuss' series, The Kingkiller Chronicle–a personal favourite since The Name of the Wind (the first book) debuted.  I am especially enamoured with the depiction of Denna, who is the embodiment of an archetype that I believe many of us can relate to.         
     We are ephemeral beings, personifying the very fleeting nature of our existence.  Our desires only fall into reach when we no longer attempt to grasp them.     
     
I owe a special thanks to my good friend, David–he was pivotal in bringing this song to life.  

For now here is a rough sketch.

Enjoy!

Lunchbox's Tim Brown and Donna McKean have been making records in their Oakland, California basement for two decades, inspired by 1960s/70s AM-radio pop and TV show theme music, punk, C86, and mod à la the Creation and the Jam. From the sonically-inventive indiepop of "The Magic of Sound" (1999) to the dub-influenced psychedelia of "Evolver" (2001) to the critically-acclaimed bubblegum of "Lunchbox Loves You" (2013), the couple have established a sound all their own.

Their new album for Slumberland, "After School Special," finds them at the height of their powers of songcraft and performance. Donna's bass playing stakes out stylistic territory somewhere between Carol Kaye and John Entwhistle while Tim's guitar is equal parts 12-string jangle and clipped Orange Juice-esque funk. Horns by Gary Olson (Ladybug Transistor) and longtime collaborator Jeremy Goody drive the record from beginning to end. Evelyn Davis' delay-drenched keyboards combine with whispers of analog tape feedback to give the record an otherworldly vibe in keeping with its lyrical themes.

There, favorite seasons (autumn) and animals (cats), appear alongside love and death, ghosts and reincarnation. From the shimmering opener "Dream Parade" to the horn-driven mod-pop of "Hide and Seek," the groovy sixties R&B vibe of "I Really Wanna Know" and the haunting male-female vocal stylings of the  album-closing title track, the textures shift while the unity of artistic vision remains. Catchy as hell and beautifully packaged, "After School Special" is Lunchbox at their very best.
