Honest Pop songs laced w/pedal steel and other timeless instrumentation that tell stories of disappointment and frustrated “artistic visionaries”.
Bio / Background
"Pop songs with a diverse palette of influences-from Pink Floyd to Palace."
WHY MAKE CLOCKS currently is the project of songwriter, Dan Hutchison (with a little help from friends).
The band's line-up in 2005 recorded the second WMC album, "MIDWESTERN FILM" in June of 2005. During a much-need hiatus from recording another album.
It was mostly recorded over 4 days in Tucson, AZ at Wavelab Recording Studio by Craig Schumacher, known for engineering albums by the likes of NEKO CASE, GIANT SAND, CALEXICO, IRON AND WINE and countless others.
The rest was recorded by the band in their studio.
The diversity of the 10 songs on "Midwestern Film" and the immediate/live sound of the recording itself, create a broad, open musical landscape that provides the fertile ground for lyrical honesty and the overall thematic tone of the record.
