“We took a wildly different approach to writing and arranging this record,” said bandleader and guitarist Vikas Sharma.
“We went in and got started like we usually do – with me drumming up a loose structure of the songs, but this time I handed the demos over to Darren (bassist Darren Vanstone) to reimagine and rearrange. We worked closely with Julie (singer and violinist Julie Sun Lee) to set the tone and the mood and put something in front of her that would inspire her to express the emotions, thoughts, and feelings she was going through at the time.”
The result is a very different Deadbeat Superheroes record – with influences ranging from early to mid-80’s goth, electronic, synth-rock, to some mid-90’s heavy rock and hints of Giorgio Moroder along the way.
“We’re all extremely excited with the finished product,” said Sharma.
“Off course, we worked with our long-time collaborator and veteran producer Marek David (Queens of the Stone Age, Dr. Dre, Sheryl Crow) to tie it all up.” Added Sharma.
All songs written by Deadbeat Superheroes.
The EP was mastered by Peter Letros at Wreckhouse Mastering (Toronto, ON).
