Shoegaze Love 57

Winter Solstice was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered over the course of two weeks. As an experiment Whiteford recorded drums to a metronome with no music in mind and built songs around what he came out with. All of the instrumentation was recorded in 3 takes or less and were captured on video to make a this compilation

Written, Performed, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Matthew Paul Whiteford

Your Favorite Sweater

This is the first song we created in the band "tonight..." -  appropriately titled Launch Vehicle. A Kawai SX-240 was used for the looping "piano" sequence. Big Muff and Grunge distortion pedals for the rhythm and an ebow with a ton of reverb, feedback and delay for the melody.  Lo-fi recording in one take. This version doesn't have the lengthy intro.

7" Vinyl/Digital single from Cincinnati's Wussy 
Released on Shake It (US) / Damnably (UK) - January 29th 2016.

“America’s best songwriting band might now be among its 
best soundscaping ones” – SPIN
“Maximum singability and staying power” – Pitchfork

Formed on a dare in 2001, Cincinnati’s Wussy is at the forefront of New Midwestern Psychedelia. Following the release of their cult classic debut in 2005, “to certain fans of Lucinda Williams, Crazy Horse, Mekons and R.E.M., Wussy became the best band in America almost instantaneously with...Funeral Dress” (SPIN). Heralded by critics for both their songwriting and varied sonic palette, the five-piece is pleased to announce their sixth full-length Forever Sounds, due out March 4 via Shake It Records & Damnably (UK/Europe). Dubbed by SPIN as “their most challenging and densely textured to date”, the new album finds Wussy crafting raw and melodic material, exploring such themes as hauntings, false prophets, aliens, and The Big Lebowski all blanketed inside layers of noise. In anticipation for the release, Wussy has revealed the first track “Dropping Houses” on SPIN. The single will be available for download via Bandcamp and in a limited run of 7” vinyl starting January 29.

Made up of Chuck Cleaver (Ass Ponys), Lisa Walker, Mark Messerly, Joe Klug, and John Erhardt, Wussy has truly come into their own on the new album. Following the band’s first US TV appearance on CBS in 2014 and increased critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork and SPIN, they headed to the studio to record Forever Sounds with renewed vigor. John Hoffman and Jerri Queen (both of Vacation), along with John Curley (Afghan Whigs) at Curley’s Ultrasuede Studios, the new team and location enabled the band to take more chances and create the sound they had always been reaching for. While their pop sensibilities remain intact, the mix and instrumentation are more reminiscent of the band’s noise-heavy live shows. The album’s ten tracks are full of hope, determination, heartbreak, deception, aliens, the supernatural, the everyday, friendship, love and second chances.

"Dropping Houses" is the first track from Wussy's sixth LP Forever Sounds  (coming out March 4, 2016). The vinyl / digital single of "Dropping Houses", which comes out next Friday, will also feature a non-album B-Side, "Folk Night at Fucky's".
