Wait
Washington, DC s guitar-toting, power-pop musician and YouTube sensation releases his fourth album, Wait, on Tuesday, May 13th. He then hits the road for an international tour to include Iceland, and the UK. As with his prior records, Wait is filled with deeply personal, heartfelt songs in front of orchestration and acoustic guitars, but offers a new dimension with the addition of his recently formed band of musical veterans, including indie drummer, Liz DeRoche (The Pushovers/Cane and the Sticks) & vocalist Sarah Gilberg (Luray). Wait is produced by Mike Ofca (Neverwake, Righteous B, Joe Zelek) and mastered by Randy LeRoy (Tim McGraw, Jack Johnson, John Prine, Relient K, Chris Thile). I had gotten in the habit of producing a new record every year. It got to the point where I realized that that kind of production was unsustainable over the long term. So I made a concerted effort to spend a whole year writing. As a result I found inspiration in almost everything. Of course love, that goes without saying, but I also found myself writing about insecurity, growth and maturity, death, fear, internet trash talking, celebrities, the closet and the pressure of the industry to conform. Recording Wait was a breath of fresh air. I really wanted to make a band record rather than a singer-songwriter record with a backing band. That s what we set out to do. From the get go, it seemed like everyone was on the same page. That shines through in the music. Bringing Liz DeRoche aboard for mixing really helped take everything to the next level. In previous recordings we (Mike Ofca and myself) tended to fall back on our ability to fill space with guitars, with liz in the mix a whole new world of possibilities opened up. We were all the sudden using a myriad of synths and vocals. What results is a more cohesive and full sound, with twists and turns sprinkled throughout.
