Title: New Album
Post by: Spencer on February 22, 2010, 02:43:56 AM
Hi guys

When not debating the finer points of a woodwind section in glorious 5.1 sound or Mike Love's lyrical contribution I like to play music myself.

I've mainly spent 09 recording my second album. I have a 6 album project (Spencer McGarry Season) which aims to record 6 albums in 6 different styles- The first (Episode 1- basic rock) was out last year on my own label Businessman Records and the second (Episode 2) will be out in a few months.

Produced by Charlie Francis (High Lamas, REM) it's a high camp musical odyssey that's been compared to Disney, Todd Rungrun, Brian Wilson etc I was also going for Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Gershwin and McCartney.

I've put some pieces up on myspace

We'll be playing the whole album through in Chapter Arts Centre Cardiff (Wales) on March 19th with a 12 piece band, if anybody's in the country then.

thanks

I enjoy All Things to All Men, particularly the great intro string riff.
