A new writing process<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sly Withers:\u00a0<\/strong>Coming into demoing and writing <em>Overgrown<\/em>, we realised that we needed to refine the writing process a little bit to make everything work as optimally as possible for everyone in the band individually. Long story short, we decided that before any song would enter the jam room, Jono and Sam would demo it, working on it together a fair bit in the process.<\/p>\n<p>We went shopping and bought some mics, monitors and an Ikea desk and spent the summer writing and demoing as often as possible in a spare room at Jono\u2019s place. Then, after everyone had a chance to listen to and familiarise themselves with the demos, we took those songs to the boys in the jam room and would integrate the full unit\u2019s ideas into the tracks. It worked really well and we think it\u2019s probably going to be the standard for us moving forward.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Production process<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sly Withers:\u00a0<\/strong><em>Overgrown<\/em> is the first record we\u2019ve made where we\u2019ve been able to set aside a chunk of time, go into the studio over a long period and break apart the songs to better refine them. Out of necessity \u2013 budgets, timelines \u2013 we\u2019d never been able to do this before, and it was a real treat to go into Blackbird with producer Dave Parkin and make something very considered and deliberate.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common questions Parko would ask us and himself was, \u201cWhat does the record need?\u201d It was so cool to allow ourselves the time to be able to consider that, rather than just refining the individual songs in the jam room for a couple of months by ourselves before going in and recording them as they were.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Prettier aspirations<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sly Withers:\u00a0<\/strong>Parko helped us really push our sound forward on this record, incorporating prettier sounding elements and creating what we feel is a super lush sounding record. Acoustic guitars played a big role here \u2013 most of the album has acoustic chords layered underneath it, which gives the record an element that\u2019s both beautiful and percussive.<\/p>\n<p>A reference point for the percussive part of this vibe was the Green Day album <em>Warning<\/em>. There\u2019s so much cool acoustic guitar on that record, truly an underrated outing from that band. There\u2019s also a bit of synth and piano peppered throughout <em>Overgrown<\/em> but the most exciting new addition to us was the strings.<\/p>\n<h4>4. The strings<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sly Withers:\u00a0<\/strong>To make this album a bit prettier, we decided we wanted to go full violin mode. So, we asked our pal Clancy Davidson \u2013 who we toured with a lot through her work in Noah Dillon\u2019s band around the time of <em>Overgrown<\/em>&#8216;s\u00a0writing and recording \u2013 to come in and help us lay down some strings on a few tracks (\u2018Sundays\u2019, \u2018Don\u2019t Wanna Leave\u2019 and \u2018Tongue\u2019).<\/p>\n<p>The day we did strings was one of the funnest of the whole process and we are so stoked with the amazing work that Clancy did. There was a lot of fun to be had helping arrange these parts as none of us had ever written string parts before at all.<\/p>\n<h4>5. The most tracks we\u2019ve ever released at once<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Sly Withers:\u00a0<\/strong><em>Overgrown<\/em> has 14 tracks and runs for over 46 minutes. We never intended for that to be the final product, but when it came time to pick what would make it onto the album, we felt like every song had a place and contributed to the record in some way.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, we\u2019d always been cautious of exceeding 42 minutes due to some vinyl related stuff, but we decided, \u201cNah, fuck it,\u201d and asked our label nicely if we could put out all 14 tracks. They were like, \u201cSure, why not,\u201d so we were like, \u201cCool, thanks, we\u2019ll do that then.\u201d And then they were like, \u201cCool, looking forward to it,\u201d and then we were like, \u201cUs too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It feels like we\u2019ve achieved a real diverse sounding record thanks to not cutting anything. Every song has a reason for being on there and we\u2019re really proud of what we\u2019ve achieved with it.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Sly Withers \u2013 &#8216;Radio&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IQrFcduNxB8\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sly Withers&#8217; new album\u00a0<em>Overgrown\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/slywithers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">out now<\/a>\u00a0via\u00a0Dew Process \/ UMA.<\/p>\n<h3>Further Reading<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/album\/alvvays-blue-rev-review-one-of-2022s-essential-guitar-albums\/\">Alvvays \u2018Blue Rev\u2019 Review \u2013 One of 2022\u2019s Essential Guitar Albums<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/album\/jesswar-lifes-short-live-big-review-club-loud-notebook-personal\/\">Jesswar: \u2018LIFE\u2019S SHORT, LIVE BIG\u2019 Review \u2013 Club Loud, Notebook Personal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/peaches-announces-the-teaches-of-peaches-2023-australian-anniversary-tour\/\">Peaches Announces \u2018The Teaches of Peaches\u2019 2023 Australian Anniversary Tour<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sly Withers&#8216; Overgrown is Music Feeds&#8217; Album of the Week.
