The song explores the lengths we go to hang on to love. “Drag me, drag me, don’t drag me, don’t drag me”…the line is thin. It is hard to know what draws us to love someone in the first place, but when a relationship is complicated by hurt, it becomes a double edged sword. In love we experience extremes, the ecstasy and freedom that has been written about through the ages, and conversely, the deepest, darkest pain that can make us feel desperate and trapped. This song is a plea with a lover. “Heal me, or break me down, feel me or let me drown. Save me or free me, just don’t drag me around”. The end result is unknown, but through the pain, it is sung with a hope in the power for love to transform and transcend.

Caller Id

One of our first tracks ever written, "Set You Free" is written in homage to our taxidermy deer head that hangs in our kitchen named Sir Henry.  Nature, confession, capture, release, redemption, death, life.

Set You Free

A randynewman-esque ramble through the high desert...

Driving north by the waves and the pine,
I hear her haunting call.
I see the rock at Morro Bay,
As she casts her velvet pall.

Is this the life you promised?
All you did was leave me low.
All I have is this carpeted mansion,
No taste, no norms, and no names in my phone.

Is this the life you promised?
All you did was leave me low.
You wished me well at our last parting.
And now I'm counting money all alone"

I sit at night alone in the cabana
Counting money stack on stack
I would be rich, but the currency's changed
I want the other diagnosis back.

Time to generate some content.
I need to something to say
I spoke to the main consultant 
he'll get back to me by END OF DAY.

The lines are jammed and the sink is dirty
Time to clear the jazz cookies from my cache.

Morro Bay

words:

things got pretty primitive at the twin palms motel
thought you were authentic 
when you couldn’t assume good will
left me feeling defensive…
you said death to the false self
insisting on the truth 
but there's no love
It's heaven
And  hell

nothin sadder than two people
lonely together 
and I can’t stop dreaming of a tender love to hold me

Nothing grows in the Yucca Valley
got survival on the brain
damn I wish I could blame you baby and defend this false name
death to the false self
don’t remember when I built this wall…
but here we are again
at the twin palms inn

Twin Palms

Captivity

LOUD FOREST: BIO

The Los Angeles based band Loud Forest is fronted by married couple Bernard and Rachel Chadwick.  Equally matched as singers and performers, they craft an eclectic mix of songs that can both swirl and drive, loud minimal rock drums and ruckus melodic singing is supported by electric guitars, textures and noises that create a sonic landscape while infusing classic folk and gospel elements.  Songs on the forth-coming album range from moody shoe-gaze to grass-roots communal rock n’ roll. All the while giving a nod to personal influences such as Spoon, The Pixies, Arcade Fire and Sonic Youth.


Album Bio:
Bernard and Rachel have two completely different styles of song writing, Rachel is abstract and experimental, and Bernard is direct, minimal and angular. It is in the studio collaborating with other talented musicians, Alex Strahle, Carlen Walth, and Steve Wilmot that the pieces come together in a way that is a mix of rock, minimal art and elements of gospel.  Their studio is a creative project space in historic Pasadena where art events and music collaborations coexist, this makes for a studio that is always changing and influencing the forthcoming album in different ways.
