ABOUT THE TRACK: After 15 years of diy touring with his band, Darling Waste. Cleveland, Ohio native Lance Waste was ready for a change of pace. He packed up his family and headed south to the sunshine and sandy beaches of Myrtle Beach, SC. After taking a year off from performing and writing music, Waste began working on new music, focusing on genres, styles of music and lyrical themes he wasn’t able to explore with his previous band. The result is Frozen Lakes.
“‘Vital Signs’ is about how New York City completely changes every 10 years or so,” says Waste. “You can go back but the neighborhoods have changed, the shops are different, the clubs are gone. Whole scenes build up, explode, and then collapse under their own weight. So we just shrug it off and head back to middle America as the next wave of wide eyed twenty somethings get off of the bus to reshape the city in their image.”
Frozen Lakes explores themes of death, loss and our place in the universe wrapped in neatly crafted, often sorrowful, pop music. Waste weaves unique sonic tapestries by blending the traditional singer songwriter instruments like piano and acoustic guitar, with modern production, layering drum and vocal loops into the mix.
