Hello!
I am a guitarist in a (currently) 3-piece. We jam heavy psych things with lots of effects, some big riffs but also some nice soundscapes / textures, very harmonically rich and with lots of dynamics. Sometimes it goes on for 10 minutes at a time. It’s very satisfying. It can be dark at times, but also uplifting.
Here’s the problem: we do not have a vocalist or songwriter in our midst. I have written songs collaboratively in the past and can sing to some extent (particularly harmonising) but I am not a frontperson. Would someone like to join us and help with that?
We do not have a preconceived notion of the sort of person that might be, except that they must understand our position: we all have full-time jobs and young families, we do not wish to suddenly shoot off touring – we want to write songs and develop our material because eventually we’d like to record it. Some local gigs would be nice, but we’re not in a rush for that. Someone who would like to share in this as a creative project would be great. Low stress, high quality, big fun.
I’m also up for collaborating to write acoustically as a separate or related thing.
I previously co-wrote songs in this thing: https://antler1.bandcamp.com/album/halcyon-surfacing (guitar parts and lyrics, but not the whole process)
Some other sounds that are a big influence on us:
