Nevertheless, for “Curves” I wished to see what I might do primarily by myself to problem myself. My first instrument and musical ardour started with the drums. Subsequently, I are inclined to pay shut consideration to beats once I pay attention or write. The basics of rhythm and vocal signature are the prime components that I gravitate in the direction of, and I consider are additionally what followers of music are inclined to concentrate on. The groove and the vocal can actually give a music a cool vibe and complement each other. I exploit Logic Professional X as my DAW of alternative and created the beat for “Curves” from scratch. As soon as the tempo and groove felt proper, I began layering vocal melodies as an intro. Utilizing a bunch of harmonies, octaves, and melody variations, it started to tackle an ethereal choir-like really feel. It was then, that I noticed that I wished to additionally use the identical concept as the ultimate outro, so there was a superb introduction that caught your ear in addition to a well-known resolve.
I then started including some keyboard/synth components which included violins and had sufficient of a skeleton to start laying down vocal concepts. Because it began coming collectively, I added some guitar and bass sections, after which labored on getting the lyrics collectively. I wished to convey one thing that might have a constructive message that listeners might universally relate to. Everybody experiences hardship at factors of their lives, as I’ve. Generally, you simply must lean on these round you whenever you will not be feeling the energy to go it alone. As with all WLA’s music, “Curves” went by a sequence of iterations to get to its closing draft type. Heath and I collaborated forwards and backwards with Logic mission recordsdata till we felt prefer it was in a superb place. We then recorded it at Ice Cream Manufacturing facility Studio in Austin, TX with Matt Parmenter (Quiet Firm, Chrysta Bell) and had it combined by Carl Bahner (St. Lucia, Joywave) in Lancaster, PA.”
