"Retaliatory Action” is a dry, character-driven country/Americana track about a group loosely planning some kind of vague payback. Open to interpretation.

Retaliatory Action

Beginning To End

No One Loves You Better

Love Song Gone Wrong

Law Of The Sea

Pinegrove's Angelina: a cover by Ashton Oberlin

A fiery bluegrass-gospel showstopper where Eve reclaims the Fall with swagger, wit, and girl-group harmonies. Righteous, rebellious, and irresistible.

A Food Truth Revival

I Don't Give a Fig (What You Say)

License/Purchase

The deep-fried hymn of the Anti-Kale Church of Culinary Hedonism. It’s Southern-fried satire, full of flavor, fury, and food-based freedom. This is comedy gospel with a batter-dipped soul.

Grist To The Mill

Around two o'clock this morning, I finished a track that I assumed I'd be posting today.  

This is not that track.  

Instead of going to bed after finishing that track, I had an idea for ANOTHER track...and I stayed up to work on it.  Sleep?  Who needs it when you've got an idea?  

I know that most of the tracks that Interbay puts out (brand new music EVERY SINGLE DAY--so far!) here on SoundCloud is more synthesizer-centric (and yes, I realize that it takes a lot of nerve to keep the main genre tag for this track to be "electronic"--but, I assure you that it is.  No guitar strings were strummed in the making of 'Unforgettable'.)  

I contend that I can make whatever kind of music that I'm inspired to make and it still be, essentially, Interbay.  There are no definitions limiting the kind of mutant pop that Interbay shares with you...so if, like today, what I feel like sharing is an odd little uptempo folk/americana/indie pop hybrid--that, my friends, is STILL Interbay.  

I've wanted to make a track like this for awhile--uptempo, guitar-centric, with a folk-country-indie vibe...using a proper r&b style vocal...and then working on the sound design to add strings, harmonic plucks run through a bunch of electronic fx, acoustic drums and multi-tracked backing vocals.  It's just on the edge of being within reach of my technical abilities...so, it might not perfectly hold together--but when has ANY Interbay song perfectly held together?  

In case you're curious about the thumbnail, that's Ingrid Bergman from Casablanca.  An unforgettable performance in an unforgettable movie--with this scene being particularly unforgettable--so, thematically it works.  

It also has personal meaning, as it was my late wife's favorite movie--and, when we first met in person (after matching on Match), she immediately confronted me with mild outrage and surprise over the fact that I had not listed Casablanca on my list of favorite movies.  (Oh, I love "Casablanca"--but I love a lot of things...including the fact that she was willing to argue pop culture with me.)  

Like Ingrid, my late wife was Unforgettable too!  (She might have even liked this latest Interbay track--can't say that about all of them. ;) )  

So, please don't forget to follow this page as new Interbay tracks drop every day (and have for well over a year now!)  

And I do hope that you give this track a listen and a like.  Let me know what you think with a comment.  Share it, repost it, and add it to a playlist, if you are so moved.  

Tomorrow?  I'll probably post the track I finished before starting this one, in the wee hours of this morning...unless something new happens to take over that spot like it did last night!

"Unforgettable" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

A stripped-back, rust-tinged interpretation, this Alt-Folk version of God at the Awful Waffle delivers divine indifference through clanging steel and quiet fire. The vocals hover between disbelief and bone-tired acceptance, backed by metallic resonance, scrap-percussion textures, and folk guitar dusted with ash.
