Anticipation Street single release

"Anticipation Street" is the 4th single and 7th track on my debut album.

The track is an uplifting summer groove about the euphoria of heading out for a night on the town, celebrating that feeling of comradery, that something great could happen with your friends. 

Joelle nails the vocals while Paul’s bass line adds an organic element to the electro mix. 

One of the first demos I'd made, the track was originally called "Le Groove" and entirely instrumental. I am pleased that I sat on it and eventually added lyrics and Joelle's vocals. 

Bonus - the song has already been played on two stations new to me: PopCanRadio, based in Toronto, and CFRC-FM, the non-commercial campus radio station at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. 

The video release will be this Friday, and will be my first as a video producer. 





Lyrics:

I feel it in the air
I’m feeling like I just don’t care

Fly away
Drive away 
Get away
(Saturday)
Find a way

Fly away
Drive away 
Get away
(Saturday)
Find a way

I feel it in the air
I’m feeling like I just don’t care

The light
So bright
Let’s fly
Tonight

I feel it in the air
I’m feeling like I just don’t care
(Don’t care)

Fly away
Drive away 
Get away
Find a way

Fly away
Drive away 
Get away
Gonna play

Play
Play 
Play

Boogeyman Trail

“Boogeyman Trail” is the 3rd track on the Flashbacks album, straddling the line between fun and games and fear and tears in the forest. 

I've always wanted to create a moody horror riff, as well as record a spooky narration. 

The lyrics tell a story that is based on a real activity we used to play in the woods, which ultimately devolves into fictional mayhem with a twist at the end.

Influences include John Carpenter scores, Stephen King novels and The Blair Witch Project film.

Best experienced on headphones. At night.

Ice Cream Karma

  



“Ice Cream Karma” is the 2nd track on the Flashbacks album, built on a trance riff. 

The lyrics recall the showboating trike riding antics of Kevin L. from the trailer park era, a veritable Dickie Dee legend. 

His mishap now immortalized, I hope one day he comes across it and has a good laugh like we all did. 

Ad lib vocals by my brother Darren, one of the few witnesses/beneficiaries of the accident. 

Car sample: The Music Box Recording Studio in Clare. 

A review of “Ice Cream Karma” can be found on Le Presidio blog, describing the track as "the dark underbelly of the greed of the 1980's".

"Before Call Display" single and video released by Peach on a beach

 

I invite you to listen to my third single "Before Call Display".

The song is inspired from an epic prank phone call session I orchestrated with my brother during our early teens circa 1984. One day after school while our mom was working, we called ~ 10 taxicabs, pizza shops, Chinese take-outs and a bottle exchange, then watched them all arrive across the street at the neighbour's house.
