The song "Travel Around" underwent a significant overhaul, with the guitars and tones produced using the Super Plexi Lead Marshall Cab. I stumbled upon this recording in the SpaceArtRock folder, and it was one of the last ones made. The music video pays homage to the previous album "Desert Life," featuring Jackalopes on a trippy desert landscape. I discovered the beat and riff as a basic 2 bar skeleton mix, and then added additional elements such as guitars, a pleasant bass amp tone, and lyrics to complete the piece.
I had the opportunity to test the Softube Console1 Fader on this mix with a Hollywood rock vibe, and I must say, I was impressed. The guitars in the chorus really stood out and the faders' colorful display caught my attention, making me want to spend more time using it.
“You wanna know where to go…I wanna see you smiling all the way”. The lyrics of this song express my desire for solitude and to avoid the chaos of life that feels like a circus. People are often put on display and elevated above others. Despite the ups and downs, I strive to remain grounded.
