CM Central Review
The little things continue to matter most. A couple days ago, I found out that “Okay” was reviewed by CM Central.
Our good friend Gavin Harrison (a self-made musical prodigy out of the UK) was given kudos for his production/arrangement of the song, “Perspective.” We’re hoping to work more closely with Gavin (aka “Gridlocked”) over this next year. Although we’ve never met in person, technology has made it so easy to collaborate from across the world.
I was also so flattered (read: jumping up and down) by the following:
I enjoyed the punchy percussion and raspy vocals of “Moving Backwards,” a rich rail against life’s occasional futility. Another standout is the poignant “Breakable on the Inside,” a perceptive portrayal of the fragility of our facades. Beautifully arranged, Caylor’s hushed vocals ride a rich bed of sparkling keys and Leora Gardner’s tender violin solo. Its evocative lyrics are also worthy of mention: “My heart is held together by all this skin/ What used to feel like leather is wearing thin/ Cause I know how it feels to be breakable on the inside When the outside looks so right.
We’re all (Jeff, Gavin and I) working on new music, so encouraging reviews like this continue to light our little “creative fires.”
