New music from Beneath the Whale

Its been a while since I've updated Metroknow, but this post should give you some idea of why. Its for a good cause.

As some of you know, several of us have been working on an ongoing music project that seems to ebb and flow over time. John and I got together this summer for a midnight recording session in my dining room to create the first rough recordings for the Beneath the Whale project. We recorded from 12AM-ish to about 3AM or so, almost exclusively playing from the ether - with the exception of Still Water, all of the other songs are completely improvised on the spot from the song structure to lyrics.

Check out a few samples over at our MySpace page, which I just put up to get these online quickly. Here's the link: http://www.myspace.com/beneaththewhale -- they're not perfect; but its a start.

My current favorite is Drive/Rearview (myspace doesn't allow the slash). Its long, but it was amazing to me that the whole thing just flowed out of our heads with no prior conception.

Hope you like it. Much more to come.
