Gary Reynolds and the Brides of Obscurity Week: Day 1

(antiMusic) When we received an email extolling the virtues of Gary Reynolds and the Brides of Obscurity we shrugged it off an ravings of an over-anxious publicist. A couple weeks later we received another email that described the band's sound as psychedelic indie-rock / space pop that used "Abbey Road" as a reference when it came to mixing their new CD. That got our attention, so we did take a listen and really liked what we heard on their new Cd "Santiago's Vest," so we asked Gary to pick some of his favorite tracks and tell us about them. Today Gary tells us about the song "Capital State": My old roommate had a friend come to visit for a few weeks, which turned out to be a few months. The guy slept on the couch, stayed stoned, ate all the food and wouldn't get a job. My roommate, for some reason, practically worshipped this guy. So that's where the initial line "Everybody knows there's nothing that you can do, but what will you be in the mean time" came from. I was playing this with a tribal rhythm on the acoustic guitar but I decided it would be better to strip out the guitar and put it all on the drums. The final acoustic guitars were actually intended to be scratched, they're original purpose was only to provide a chord structure. As we were working on the tune it became evident that they needed to stay. Now it's up to you to be the ultimate judge, go grab a listen to their songs and see if you agree that this is an exciting new indie release. Samples, tour dates and more about the band can be - found here.
