Even in the summer, when the temps are blazing and the sun is readily apparent, a song with haunting tones can work. Add light, dark keystrokes into the mix, with angelic atmospherics and it’s all over. On repeat.
Ex-NIN player Chris Vrenna went under the moniker tweaker, to record 2 A.M. Wakeup Call – which was guest heavy, including Los Angeles bedroom composer Mellowdrone. With tweaker’s record debuting shortly after Mellowdrone’s A Demonstration of Intellectual Property – an EP I rank as one of my favorites – the collaboration was enticing. The end product, Worse Than Yesterday, was exactly what I’d expect from someone who contributed to records like The Downward Spiral. But it’s the somber simplicity of this composition which struck me. The Buckley-like delivery of Mellowdrone is intact; his whisper adds to the dark chill of Worse Than Yesterday. Experience darkness in the daylight…
