Here are Doug's notes from the interview. https://soundcloud.com/the-descenters https://thedescenters.bandcamp.com/ http://www.jamendo.com/en/artist/376671/the-descenters https://www.facebook.com/TheDescenters Tell us about your music and tell us what’s new! Funny story! Started as a band, but became a one-piece. He even plays live solo! Alternative rock, post-punk, goth. Electronic drums “WE’LL DO IT LIVE!” sorta. Still shakey in the promotion regard he says...but he’s here What software? I don’t see the image Tom does: Image link Ableton is ok for recording ProTools also What influences? nothing pure! melodic vocals: Placebo, Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Morrissey (The Smiths) Matthew overlooked Talking Heads much like Tom overlooked The Smiths “Burning Down the House” - Talking Heads “It’s the End of the World As We Know It” - REM New Album in February 2014 Intense couple of weeks! Did they kick you out of the city? moved from country to Melbourne. Lots of the cultural stuff happens in the south Much cooler in the south lots of songs about the rain Studio? All of it is self-recorded with Ableton. A selection of microphones digital manipulation is cool quick followup? Not as quick as release seems. EP recorded in 2012, but not released until there were CDs always working on new material “Creep” by Radiohead stories you don’t just show up in the study not sure what band he’s talking about.
