Town Topic EP (CDep)
This is the soundtrack to artist and photographer Laurel Nakadate's debut feature film, "Stay the Same Never Change". It consists of thirteen short instrumental pieces, book-ended by two vocal tracks. The instrumentals are all previously released, but were re-constructed and blended with a number of new pieces to create a cohesive score specifically for the project. Built from the sounds of electric pianos, organs, Casio keyboards, a primitive monophonic sequencer/drum machine, and spring reverb, the music parallels the stories of trouble-making Kansas City teenagers during a sweltering Midwestern summer.
