sore

Lyrics like the ones in Sore were originally intended as more of a writing exercise for me than to make it into a song. There was an original song that I wrote for this one, the sound lost somewhere in the aether, but the lyrics remained in my notebook until I recorded the music for what would become the (expectations) version of it. Another one of those Joy Division style vocal jobs, eh? I definitely distorted the overall sound by using the tape speed function on the Tascam, something that you will most definitely hear in the upcoming sound files.

Black Candy Plus was originally supposed to be my sole solo project, but it quickly became, in large part, a experimental sound outlet. There are some more traditional singer-songwriter songs on here, but I think that for the future, BC+ will continue to manipulate what the four-track can do while another solo name will do the folk-type stuff. But yes, fair warning that if you’re not already familiar with the BC+ records, things may get kind of weird from here on out…
