Chris Emond - Oh yea! Dance, boogeyman! (Download)
Oh yea! Dance, boogeyman!—The debut EP of San Jose raised Singer-Songwriter and Producer Chris Emond—is out now on Orange Label Records.
Demo recording for Oh yea! Dance, boogeyman! began around Emond's move to Los Angeles in pursuit of writing and scoring opportunities. From a back house in a decaying 5-bedroom home, the then 19-year-old Emond found himself creating music from both extremities of his influences. A handful of inebriated nights, locked in the garage with a 4 track Tascam cassette recorder, resulted in raw, guitar-forward confessions and ballads; an obsessive study of vintage synthesizers and effects plugins, contrarily, led to instrumentals and scores that recall pieces of the electronic psychedelia of the early 2010s.
Self-produced, and engineered by new collaborator Steve Vealey (Phoenix, Bleachers, Medium Build), the 6 song project puts 22-year-old Emond's experimental mashing of folk-rock and minimal IDM on full display, planting his flag in the bog of modern independent music. Each single release was paired with a self-directed music video—watch videos for “Harmony”, “Obituary”, “counting Western preference”, and “The wart is you…………”
