Single
varnish release their new EP "Single" on 10 July, 2008. This five track CD will include standard versions of four songs from the forthcoming album and a more dance-friendly version of a fifth song. The EP will initially have a limited edition release in special packaging. This should also lead to some updated music here....
The requisite introduction to the band
Born from a brief exchange between Amber and Jason in early 2007, varnish quickly pulled together and began making music.
With their varied musical backgrounds, varnish disregard genre and simply make the music that feels right. Their process for building songs has been called "organic, in a really lovely way." They believe in capitalising upon the strengths and varied interests of each person in the band, whilst giving everyone a chance to stretch themselves. The lyrics, written by Amber, have been called "dark with bright words." They are then wrapped up in dense layers of guitar and a bass that isn't content just to provide background sounds. Someday, there will also be real drums instead of a machine.
varnish are still moving into their MySpace home, so enjoy some demos whilst waiting for the show. (They shall try to get a few more demos up as soon as they can, so that you'll hardly notice the stage is bare...)
