Writing retreat in the middle of nowhere
Sunday, April 4, 2010
I know, I know- it's only been a little over 2 months since my first record came out... But I'm one of those insatiable artists that's addicted to CD Release Parties (hah) so I've started working on a new album. You may have even heard a couple of the new songs if you've been at my most recent shows ;) Although the album is only in it's beginning stages, I can tell you the finished product will be a warm, dark, rhythmic EP (5 or 6 song album), that dives into sounds I didn't even know existed when we wrote "Heartforward".

It's both inspiring and daunting to be so new to the art of songwriting, but all in all the creative process is a fun head trip so I've decided to churn out these latest ideas whilst living in an 1866 hotel converted to lofts for artistic types, in the middle of nowhere, 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean, for a month. Not. fucking. bad. eh?

Most mornings, I wake up to the rooster, stumble down a spiral staircase, jump in the car for a soft, 7 mile wind along the ocean cliffs to the nearest town. I drink some coffee in the sun and eavesdrop on the old men grouped outside the store-fronts, talking loudly about the day's news. Hop back in the car and sing my most recent musical brainstorm to the waves as I travel back home, to soak up some more sun on the deck while trying to extend catchy chord progressions into full length songs.

I can't wait to share it all with you :) Send me some creative vibes, OK?

love,
cam
