Approaching the tail end of a decade as a band, Misgivings are back with
æDream NeighbourÆ the follow up to their debut album æHermitageÆ (Lockjaw
Records, 2018), further expanding upon the quartetÆs approach to classic
British punk rock poured through an indie/power pop filter. The bandÆs sound
is a love letter to the British influences on American indie rock classics
such as Husker Du, Guided by Voices and Jawbreaker, while also drawing
inspiration from the fine example set on the South Coast by bands such as The
Stayawakes, Latchstring & Harker (and many more!).
Powered by the prolific songwriting engine of bandleader Will Pearce, the
band were in the final stages of tracking at Southsea Sound when lockdown
restrictions halted the session. Subsequently, Pearce finished the album in
his home studio, recording additional vocals and mixing the session, adding
several elements from the original GarageBand demos of many of the songs as
well as additional keys provided by drummer Rob Day, who receives a larger
share of the songwriting credit this time around.
On the decision to include elements of the original song demos in the full
band mix, Will says, æSometimes you get it right the first time. ItÆs a bit
like keeping a reminder of the original moment of inspiration of the song in
the final version, but also have the sound of us being really loud in the
room together. Maybe I defeated red light syndromeÆ.
Having written, rehearsed and tested the material on the album out prior to
entering the session, Pearce says that the lyrics are æan attempt to build on
some of the previous themes of Hermitage, about the current human condition,
mental health, dependency and loss of reality and try to break through the
judgemental tone that many artists inadvertently deviate towards when writing
about these topics. It touches on how artistic pursuits can be an
individualistic, negative force at times and itÆs a bit of a challenge to
myself in honesty, to put my money where my mouth is in continuing to be
compassionate but having a belief in the way to live and to respond in
difficult times.Æ
The band will release an exclusive studio documentary that covers both the
initial recording session at Southsea Sound and interviews with the band.
With ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the band are left itching to play out but
are currently planning further releases to follow æDream NeighbourÆ to share
with the beautiful worldwide independent rock music scene. Until next time.
