Unimpressed (instr demo)

A stark descent into the chaos of the modern mind, "Anxiety" delivers a relentless post-punk groove stripped of polish and soaked in raw emotion. Driven by a tight bass and drum rhythm, the track spirals through jagged guitar textures and bleak lyricism that speak to panic attacks, therapy fatigue, and the quiet violence of surviving in a fractured world. No anthems, no escape—just the sound of someone trying to hold it together. This is post-punk at its most honest: cold, urgent, and uncomfortably real.

Anxiety

Sometimes, I have an idea and I do my best to turn that idea into an Interbay track.  

Other times, I make an Interbay track and I'm surprised to find something about it that I didn't intend on putting in there, but it hits me after I listen back to it.  

This is one of the other times.  

This whole track was built around a great royalty free vocal sample.  I don't remember how I stumbled over this particular sample...I wasn't looking specifically for any particular theme, much less "falling in and out" as an idea I wanted to write about.  I thought the vocal sample was interesting and I chose to follow the direction it pointed me towards.  

That direction had me adding many layers of harmony to that vocal, it guided me to a bell synth lead line and a thick fretless bass tone.  In fleshing out the single vocal line I had, I found another sample that has more of a gritty soul vibe and a third sample that has an afrobeat feel.  Then, I played around with different drum sounds...and completely lost my mind for a middle sixteen, adding in many different layers and effects on nearly everything.  

I fussed with it for awhile before last night when I think I'd dialed it all in.  

After deciding that this track would be the track I would post today, I started thinking about what I'm doing right now--sharing some information about this track in the description section here on SoundCloud.  

That's when it struck me.  I'm not certain that I've ever fallen out of love.  

I'd wanted to share a personal anecdote that might, despite the random nature of the vocal sample discovery, indicate my own connection to the theme.  So, I was startled by realizing that while I've had people fall in and out of love with me...I don't think I've ever fallen out of love with anyone.  

Certainly, I've had relationships end and sometimes I've realized that relationships would have to end...but I'm struggling to come up with a time where I've loved someone and then stopped loving them.  I still love the people I've been lucky enough to be in relationships with, even the ones who broke my heart.  Hell, I still crush on the people I've crushed on.  

Makes me wonder, if I've never fallen out of love with anyone...have I truly fallen in love?  (Again, I'm not denying the love I feel for people...but have I "fallen" in love?)  

To quote Lady Minerva Munday (Helena Bonham Carter's character in the movie "Getting It Right"), "How strange not to know."

There are times where I wonder if my idea of myself as an idealistic romantic might be more aspirational than accurate.  Again, how strange not to know.  

This is one of the poppiest Interbay tracks ever--a bit of folk mixed with synth pop.  I like it.  I hope you do to.  All I can ask is that you give it a listen...and give it a like if you do.  (You can do all the other things too, of course--especially follow this page for even more Interbay.)
