Mayer-Hawthorne-05232011

A Long Time

August 21st, 2011. By Martin

It seems like every weekend we get something new from Mayer Hawthorne, this one being no exception. Mayer Hawthorne is currently supporting Canadian eletrofunksters in Chromeo on their North American and here they splice up the track “A Long Time” with a galloping disco bass and 80′s synths.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions

May 14th, 2011. By Martin

Mayer Hawthorne with yet another fantastic effort, this time in the form of the “Impressions” cover EP.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions EP (Mediafire)

1. Work To Do
This one features my live band, The County: Quentin Joseph on drums, Topher Mohr on guitar, Quincy McCrary on piano, and Joe Abrams on bass. It was recorded live in a radio station studio somewhere during our Winter 2010 US tour. The tapes recently surfaced, but nobody can remember exactly where we were. The song is originally by The Isley Brothers, and that’s the only version I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”.

2. Don’t Turn The Lights On
My favorite track from Chromeo’s latest LP. On the surface it’s an electro-funk, dance floor filler, but underneath is a brilliant love ballad with lyrics that reminded me of something from Tyrone Davis. Dave1 (of Chromeo) told me the song is about a guy who falls in love with a ghost, so I wanted my version to have an eerie, ghostly feel to it. Quincy McCrary played the creepy piano solo at the end.

3. You’ve Got The Makings Of A Lover
Textbook Northern Soul from a little known Dallas, Texas group called The Festivals. I was digging for records in NY with my homey DJ Kurse, and the shopkeeper played the 45 in the store. Both of us immediately ran up to the counter and said “yo! what is THAT?!”. The original version was recorded in the late 60s, and the mix isn’t very good. I wanted a version that I could bump. Quentin Joseph played the drums and we recorded them at Sam Beaubien’s studio in Detroit. That’s Sam playing the trumpet as well.

4. Fantasy Girl
This song was written and composed by an amazing man from Pasadena named Steve Salazar. He was born with a heart condition and passed away at the young age of 27. Before he died he recorded one incredible album of demos in the mid-70s with a band called Shorty’s Portion. Peanut Butter Wolf found a copy of the album and I loved it so much that he gave it to me (thanks Wolf!). The vinyl had a handwritten note tucked in the sleeve that was addressed to anyone who could help the band with management, a record deal, radio airplay, etc. I’d estimate there were less than 300 copies pressed. That’s my Dad playing pedal steel guitar and Topher Mohr shredding the guitar solo on my version.

5. Little Person
Jon Brion is not from this planet. He penned this song for the soundtrack to Charlie Kaufman’s film “Synecdoche, NY”. I didn’t get the film at all, but I really got the soundtrack. The original has only female vocal and piano, but I always heard a larger arrangement. Hubert Alexander played some of the piano and I did everything else.

6. Mr. Blue Sky
This one also features my band, The County, and was recorded live, in one take, in a tiny makeshift tent, at a festival in Dour, Belgium.

LCTRISC – Last Kiss (video)

November 22nd, 2010. By Martin

Latest signing to the Despotz imprint, the Swedish outfit LCTRISC. They list their influences as “Ratatat, Madonna, Chromeo, Black Grape, Beck”. The “Last Kiss” single will be released digitally on Nov. 30th worldwide, and as a limited edition (300 units) 12″ vinyl. Lennie and Leslie in the band call their sound “Maximal” which they explain like this:

“It’s what we call our products. It’s how the lyrics go. When we sit down to clear our heads, we let our fluids flow It’s what we call our genre. It’s how we tag our gag. Too much for one to swallow. Enough to fill your bag. It’s like a wave of anger. It’s like a wall of craze. When Lenny plays an E-chord, he doesn’t care for grace. It’s like a band of monkeys. It’s like an awsome meal. When Leslie cuts the beat, he makes your speakers squeal. Maximal!”
