Hey Our Basement,
The spirit of creativity is our biggest muse, and “Retrograde” carried with it an emotional directness that put us in a trance-like state. As each member crafted their part, the euphoria would reach a high and that high would propel the song closer to its current state.
All five of us contributed ideas and suggestions to the production of Dizzy Spells, our self-titled debut album. After all, this record is our baby – we all wanted the kid to turn out right.
We want to bring about the sense of otherworldliness that “Retrograde” has given us. Throughout the writing and jamming process, Ben (one of our guitarist/vocalists) would hear inexplicable overtones buzzing over the chorus of the song – like something resembling an ancient chorus line of tribal warriors singing from beyond time.
In saying something as oddball as that, our core message is that sometimes we have to reach uncomfortable states of mind to bring back uncomfortable truths for ourselves.
We’re only as successful as our willingness to remain sincere.
Dizzy Spells
Hewwo.
Hi
Howdy
I have a ticket for Ria Mae, with opener RALPH, this Thursday. A little outside my usual, but a good opportunity to hear them in a small club before they hit bigger stages.

I don’t know if I am nervous or excited about seeing Neko Case on Wednesday
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Those should both be good shows and you should definitely be excited Garf!
I am going to Jack White tonight. I expect that will be a good show as well. 😀
The Dizzy Spells track is interesting. I like the concept and get the idea but it’s not quite hitting the mark for me on first listen. I will try again later.
Howdy folks.
I am listening to Dizzy Spells and thinking that the vocals are a bit buried by the other instruments …
I enjoyed reading about their creative process.
I also think I need a pair of those Hudson Bay striped socks that the fellow doing the cartwheel is wearing;)
This afternoon I am hoping to finish up a Christmas gift project started on the weekend … I need my kitchen space cleared so I kind of have to do it.
I am going to play last Fridays playlist to keep me company.
@morgana – And I was thinking I would like it more with less voice. Enjoy the playlist!
@garfielduk
For me nervous and excited are frequent bedmates.
Have a great time meeting Neko!!
@darbar
When I play Fridays playlist and allow Spotify to open it I just get the first artist not the playlist .. suggestions?
