Never Be Afraid To Change Your Mind - September 9th - Song 19   I'm playing catchup.  Sorry.  I had this melody stuck in my head for about 3 weeks.  It started as a birthday song for a friendm but I didn't want to ruin anyone's birthday this way.   Just decided to pile the rest of the junk.  More soon.  

Never Be Afraid To Change Your Mind

I'm a home-recorder/songwriter from Chicago - by way of Roswell, New Mexico.  I record in my home office.   If you'd like to remix any of my tracks, let me know.  I can send raw files.

Once there were three.

The Son(s) released their self-titled album with Olive Grove in 2011 to much critical acclaim (thank you Drowned in Sound). 

The subsequent ten track mini LP, ‘Leviathan', recorded overwinter in an empty Edinburgh tenement, is a thing of real beauty and includes The List single of the month ‘If I Hear You Talk Apostrophes Again’ - “untrammelled DIY glam-strop” - (kudos Nicola Meighan).

The Son(s) second album, 'The Things I Love Are Not at Home' followed in 2014, which included collaborations with SAY Award winner RM Hubbert and Pete MacDonald (Randolph's Leap/State Broadcasters) and single ‘Death, With Castanets’ - “a giddy, all-too-brief slice of bookish, psychedelic pop”.

In 2018 & 19 a new line up of The Son(s) played several low-key shows supporting the likes of Kathryn Joseph, Randolphs Leap & RM Hubbert in Glasgow & Edinburgh - road testing a new set of songs. These songs are due to make up a new Son(s) LP, due to trouble your ears sometime before the apocalypse hits in the early 2020’s.
 

The List - "Grammatical funk, cross-dressing blues and skewed-folk despotism never sounded so full of the joys of spring" 

Daily Record - “So well crafted and honey-dipped in harmonies that it's hard to stay tethered to your home"

The Herald - “A psychedelic-folk wonderland, with vocals gorgeously behind the beat and music intrepidly ahead of the pack.”

Drowned in Sound - "...like the menopause in surround sound..”

I write songs about everyday life and a few covers. Some of my tracks are serious but many are not. Humor is my medication. It helps me put things in perspective. As some of you might know, my wife had a thing called Huntington's Disease (HD). HD is the genetic brain disease that Woody Guthrie had. It affected her balance, moods, swallowing and eventually led to her death (October 2015). My reason for mentioning this is that all of my profits from my recordings (I know, good luck with that) are going to the HD clinic we go to at the University of Connecticut. We both got a lot of support there. You can find some tracks for download on my Bandcamp page (the sound quality is better there anyway). http://lehndorff.bandcamp.com/ 

I want to thank everyone for making SoundCloud a wonderful community. I made some wonderful friends and was inspired to do music again because of you. The new SoundCloud was bungled. But it is, what it is. I am back writing songs and practicing and have been performing here and there. While I am concentrating on getting gigs at the moment (rather than recording), I will upload some of my existing songs that I took down when I stopped my paid account. I have really old stuff on my archive account.
