We like to use it for early availability. Before appearing at the streamers, it’s there on our page. Two “sided” singles for June, July, and August, and the tenth album, “Constructivism in Blue”. You might enjoy something from “Too Lazy for Words: An Instrumental EP.”
It's official. On May 1, we will go worldwide with the single "Theme to an Imaginary Spy Movie (Deceivers Die)" b/w "A Hard Land." I thought to myself, self, I want to do a spy movie theme. Then, I had to come up with a plausible spy movie title. For the B side, some artifice as a character in the last line of a verse appears in the first line of the next verse. It's set in the west and in the past.
When the chimes of Midnight ring along the Eastern coast of the United States tonight, you can stream the latest single from this little band. Later Train is just fun pop. Side B “I Gotta Go” is punk-ish.
As one travels eastward out of Montecito on southbound US Highway 101, to the right one sees a stand of trees where cormorants are roosting. In 2024 #ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars recorded a waltz I wrote about the undramatic consequence to an amiable break-up, using the cormorants as a symbol of continuity to contrast with discontinuity: “West of Summerland Waltz.” Clarinet solo from Alonzo “Reedy” Reed. https://soundcloud.com/daniel_orias/west-of-summerland-waltz
Standout tracks (IMHO) “Lying to Me,” “Welcome to the Truthatorium, A.I.,” “Model Companion,” “Carpinteria Breakdown,” and a weird take on “Blue Tail Fly.”
The April single goes to streamers Sunday night and is at #BandCamp now, as a 4-for-1 EP. The A side is angry, listen to that bass line. The B-side is (another) self-mythologizing (not another) polka.
Pretty much #Pop as the A-side evokes the 1960s James Bond Title Song style to our own leaning to the John Le Carré formulation of that world. (Yes, me for Shirley Bassey is admittedly a poor trade.) The B-side takes us to the US Southwest of the movies.
Did this one years ago. The GarageBand digital file is misplaced, so if I want to put Sinner Man on Album 11 (Tentative title: The Serfville Monad and the Pluperfect People) I best be starting from scratch. Here's a performance from Christmas 2011.
In the past, I don't know when, somebody, don't know who, wrote a song called Sinner Man. Here, #ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars stretch and stomp it out.
Over the weekend I tracked an instrumental, meaning I now have four unreleased ones. EP time for #ThePomegranateCountyIrregulars twist on #indiepop
Well, it might be a few months before I put it up at streamers.
