From the PR Wire…
Indiana-based singer-songwriter Christopher Steve (Lavaborne) will release his debut full-length solo album Taken By The Tide, for February 26th, 2021. You can check out the new single from the album — “Denial or Delight” — exclusively at Alternative Control. The track features Latta’s haunted vocals and deft sense for doomy melodies. The album is available for pre-order now at Bandcamp!
Chris comments:
“Of all the songs that I recorded for the album, ‘Denial or Delight ‘might’ve been the trickiest one to put together. I had a chord progression that I liked from the get-go but spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best tempo and structure for it. At first I thought about making it a super dirge slowcore type song and even toyed around with the idea of giving it a more mid-tempo country flavor. Thankfully the pacing I went with gives the song some extra dynamics and having Jessie contribute cello parts really helped flesh it out! Lyrically, the song is a reflection on personal relationships and the self sabotage that can affect how they end. You can accept when things go south but will you do so with sadness or pleasure?“
