Like a warm, crackling fire on a cold winter night, Warden and Co.’s debut album Somewhere feels like home. Independent Clauses is honored to premiere the title track “Somewhere,” the first single from the trio of Seth Warden (guitar, vocals), Doug Moody (Violin, Viola, Vocals), and Brian Melick (Drums, Percussion).
“Somewhere” soars with its deep, rich, acoustic guitar. Each note reflects the essence of the song’s lyrical purpose. To say “Someday” only features Lovella feels inadequate. Adding her vocals to these lyrics creates a dynamic sonic experience. Finally, Moody’s stunning, nuanced viola wraps this track in warmth and reinforces the reassurance that beyond what has been, we’ll feel better together again someday.
The strong engineering team (executive producer Robert Daubenspeck, co-producers Seth Warden and multi-instrumentalist Chris Carey) achieves a sonic palette that blends the best of Americana with a sound reminiscent of the groundbreaking Traveling Wilburys. Recorded at Millstone Studio, Ballston Spa in New York with mastering by Jason Brown, the eleven songs beautifully capture Warden and engineer Carey’s vision of authentic sound.
