Jeremy Hilliard has released Long Lives: A Collection of Home Demos<\/em> that represent the first incarnation of songs that are later worked out and performed by his band PEAK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilliard stresses these are home<\/em> demos and are very rough around the edges, originally not intended for release. Hilliard recorded them using only an outdated version of Logic Pro X, one 58 mic, one electric and one acoustic guitar, and a little 1.5 octave keyboard. A testament to the raw tracks, he spent no more than a session recording each one.\u00a0 These demos are released ahead of the new PEAK album, due out this September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About half of the songs on here I’ve been carrying with me for ten years or more, and the other half is from recent writing. These are songs that are super chill and Americana in style, falling outside the usual material I end up presenting to the band.\u00a0 They also seem to be a bit more personal in nature. In fact, I realized\u00a0recently there’s a full song cycle here, and I engaged Beth to sing the harmony\u00a0vocals on a lot of these to help finish them, especially as we have lived them all together.<\/p>Jeremy Hilliard, PEAK<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
