Tim Karr - Lost in the Ether (New Album coming soon)

[whiplash1972]

 

Sometimes I just need to sit and think for a while…

For me, songwriting is an attempt to understand this thing called Life and how I fit into it. How to survive in a world apparently determined to set itself on fire. Do I bring a match or do I join the Bucket brigade? The answers are not always so simple.

Ideas usually start with a lyric, hook, or groove that will not leave me alone. It runs in a loop in my head non-stop, always in the background like a face half hidden in the shadows. (This usually happens in my kitchen by the way. Kind of annoying.) Anyway… that shit will torture me until I record it in some form. Eventually, a new record starts to take shape. Something I need to say; something that needs to be said. No-holds-barred, brutally honest.

In a world with so much disposable music, these songs need to stand the test of time.

Recording Lost in the Ether was a blast. Full of people I’ve known for 30+ years. People I came up with. People I grew up with. Old friends and a few new ones who graciously donated their time and talents to making back-to-basics rock n’ roll music. Songs for late night drives on darkened highways. Songs to dance to, or comfort you when times get tough. To make a connection when the whole world seems lost.

I’m really proud of this record. I hope you will dig it too.

 If sounds anything like his first cd, it would be great.

Well, you can listen to the first song from "Lost in the Ether" here:

 

Entitled "Salvation or Bust"... hmm, no, unfortunately I don't much like it.  

[The Rocker]

Not really that far off from the debut sound to me,

I’m a fan; own both “Rubbin Me the Right Way”  and “Everybody Bleeds”, so hopefully the rest of the new album will be better than this first offering.  

[Glen]

yeah that's pretty weak. I loved Rubbin Me the right way. 

[Geoff]

Dislike that strongly. Is what I do.
