Here’s a new song I recorded this past weekend.  The main chordal, reedy sounding instrument is a “Magnus Super De Luxe Electric Chord Organ” (not as fancy as it sounds), which is very out of tune, so all the other instruments were tuned up to that (more or less).  The rhythmic intro (it continues through the song) is me just hitting my lap.  It’s also got some trumpets, guitar, keyboards, and drum set.  The melody was doubled with a slide whistle which is why it’s not always on the right notes, but the bends and slides sound cool between the notes.  It sounds like a sloppy penny whistle.  I also suggest to listen on head phones if you can.

Lumpy - Purple Trails

Here is a new instrumental called “cloud covers”.
I tampered with some vocals on it but I think it’s much cooler as an instrumental.  I also used just about everything I could find in my room that made noise.
I suppose that’s all for now.

Lumpy - Cloud Covers

Here is the second cover I’ve recorded. It’ s a version of Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home To Me”.

Lumpy - Bring it on Home to Me (sam cooke cover)

Check out the original if you haven’t heard it because it’s a bit more soulful, but this was fun to make.

AND… In Celebration of it’s 5th year anniversary, below you will find a new version of a song that was originally released on my first album “Hmm… That’s Weird You’re Fat” (July 2004) under the name Bryan Rock. I originally recorded it when I was 17.  It is called “Cleo” and is about a very special someone that had a starring role in the movie Station Agent. The lyrics morph her character with a different lady that made an appearance on the hit show Blind Date. She had an obsession for pork rinds. Well I’ll let the song speak for itself.  Maybe I’ll get that album up on here soon.

enjoy

so here’s a song that I just recorded this weekend. It’s a rock-n-roll version of a song that’s going to be released on the upcoming studio album, and it’s called “I’m Still in Love With that Night”.
The album version of this song is way different which is why it’s only a semi-sneak peak at the album.
But I hope you enjoy it.
thanks for listening
