Inspirations: Serge Gainsbourg

Despite the fact our album hasn't officially been released yet, we're already busy laying the foundation for the next one. We're all really excited about the new songs that are brewing, some of which you can expect to hear on our upcoming tour. This time around, we've decided to have something more concrete to reference when attempting to make our demos so we can experiment with different modes of arrangement and production. With that in mind, every Friday (or so) one of us will be sharing something that is, in one way or another, influencing the process and the way we think about our songs, as well as music and art in general.



Recently I've been exploring the work of Serge Gainsbourg. His music encapsulates one of the main goals I have for the next album, and really moving forward as a songwriter in general; eclectic arrangements informed by forward thinking production.
