The Art ProfileAnswered by: Kara Jayne
Single title? Dead Inside
What’s the song about? Dead Inside is a reaction to the highs and lows from touring life. It is a retrospective comedown song.
How long did it take to write/record? It was something that we sat on and developed over a period of time and then went into the studios and put in down in a day. Recorded at Electric Sun with Stevie Knight.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? It is from the forthcoming album release from The Art. This is scheduled for release in October 2015.
What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? It was inspiring to not be touring constantly, and have the time to be reflective and actually be creative. Staying in one country and focusing on our experiences, we had time to write and record.
We’ll like this song if we like... If you like a cross between The Cure and The Pixies, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Suede and ‘80s rock.
Do you play it differently live? The Art perform their songs as close to recordings as possible, but there is always the live sweat and grit thrown in.
When and where is your launch/next gig? 22 May, Coolangatta Hotel; 23 May, Sonny’s House Of Blues.
