Songs to shut the door
Through the light there is darkness
This EP is a throwback to when I first started writing music for my band in 1999. While it is a little grungy, it's not entirely a nod to the 90's. For this project, I included newly recorded versions of three songs I wrote a very long time ago and three new songs in a similar style. I'm a self-taught player, and I write on bass most of the time. New songs were written on an out-of-tune acoustic guitar and modified to fit the project. I wanted to defy the 'rules' of songwriting and see how it would be received.
With any luck, this will be the first EP of a two-part series. I'm currently working on music for the second half, aptly titled Songs to Open a Window. It will be a collection of mostly rock songs that are a little more representative of my current writing style.
When a door closes, open a window. I hope you enjoy my music. XO-
Jamie
