The arpeggiated, glassy guitar tones we dialed in are an imperfect nod to the 1980s new wave/post-punk watery riffs emanating from the Roland Jazz Chorus amps in videos we grew up watching on MTV (or listening to early KROQ hits). Gizz’s (frontman Gizz Lazlo- <strong style="outline: none !important;">Dr. Know, U.K. Subs, The Freeze, Dead Lazlo’s Place</strong>) legato vocals, delicately draped over my thunderous toms, recall bands like The Icicle Works, though they also possess the muscle and motivation of Samiam’s Jason Beebout.</em></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="outline: none !important;">I am satisfied with my mix of this song, probably because it happened so effortlessly. I love how the dozen-plus tracks of backing vocals neatly charted their course as they float amid the ether of the song, simultaneously transparent yet plenty apparent. Luis’s tight, crunchy guitar riffing in the bridge eventually yields to a full-throttle send of the outro, with the densely-layered choir repeatedly exclaiming “noooo!” as I hammer quarter notes on the crash cymbal — it really thrusts this cut into an elevated stratum and provides the mashed-pedal drive it deserves, even if the lyrics state an emphatic opposition that, “I’m in no condition / to drive you all the way home!”</em></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="outline: none !important;">What makes it even more impressive was watching Gizz on the other side of the glass, in the vocal booth at the recording studio — the eponymous, succinctly-monikered Studio — in Redlands, California, absolutely nailing it all in one take. I’m nearly sure I exclaimed a stunned “wow” as the hair rose on my arms (I have hairy arms, too). I could somehow still sense the sweet and mildly-spiced waft of a Djarum Special clove cigarette he had just dusted off mere minutes before nailing this cut, quizzically piercing its way through the double-paned window into the control room (“I see you walking through / that crowded, smoky room”). While I already knew Gizz was highly competent at his craft, I didn’t realize Gizz could be unassailably stellar in the studio. (Given this is my first album as a solo producer, perhaps I was just gifted a stroke of beginner’s luck?)</em></p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="outline: none !important;">I think “No Condition” could resonate with just about anyone listening. It’s beautiful, powerful and might serve as the flagship track on this forthcoming full-length album by For Closure.

Here is it's star Kristen Stewart proclaiming she wants to do the gayest thing you've ever seen in your life. And aren't you happy???</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">From the buzz on Love Lies Bleeding this could be just that! Here's the 411 on it:</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>"Lou is a reclusive gym manager who falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder who's heading to Las Vegas to pursue her dream. Their love soon leads to violence as they get pulled deep into the web of Lou's criminal family."</i></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Personally I can't wait to see this and plan on going opening day. I'll be the judge of whether or not it achieves the "gayest thing I've ever seen" status. If it isn't I'm sure KStew has something more in store for us on those terms past this...</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Mark my words!</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Love Lies Bleeding on Wikipedia -</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Lies_Bleeding_(2024_film)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Lies_Bleeding_(2024_film)</a><br /></span></span></p>Michael Shinafelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14886880943481206143noreply@blogger.com0
