Sleep Party People – aka multi-instrumentalist Brian Batz – will release new album ‘Heap Of Ashes’ this autumn. New single, ‘Tide’, is out now.“I was in a weird place in my life where I felt like I was some kind of observer”, says Batz of his life while creating the new album. “I was watching people around me getting sick, grieving, falling apart and the world was somehow disintegrating as well.
I wanted to make a record mirroring and coping with the way I felt”.Part of this process involved completely changing his approach to songwriting.
He explains: “I had a dogma that I was not allowed to write a song on piano, guitar, or anything else that I was used to. It took an entire month to make the first song!”He also wrote his lyrics in his native Danish, before translating them into English for the recordings. “Of course it’s easier for me to express myself in Danish, and while the translating was difficult it got me somewhere completely different than anything I would ever have written”, he says.First single ‘Tide’ gives a glimpse of how these changes to Batz’s approach have affected his sound.
Elements of what we know from his previous work are there, but the middle of the song is torn apart by a sudden burst of anger and noise.“I had just had another tough day and I wanted to shout into a pillow, but I managed to put all my frustrations into the song instead”, he says.
