California Sun by The Narrative
“California Sun” is the newest release off of The Narrative’s sophomore LP on due out on Dec. 2, 2016. It’s not as sunny as it seems.
The band initially set out to record an ambitious full length in a barn in upstate New York, complete with orchestral arrangements and textured foundations for many of the songs. Working under the budgetary confines of an independent band presented some challenges, and the project slowed down, losing steam and eventually coming to a complete halt.
The loss of momentum was toxic, leading to endless self-questioning about the band’s goals, talent, and what they originally loved about being involved in music.
Born and bred on Long Island, NY, the band has recently relocated to Nashville, TN, armed with a new ideology and prepared to finally release the long-delayed record.
Golden Silence is an album about discovering hard truths in life, told through the lenses of the band’s interpersonal relationships, individual experiences, and relationships with the outside world. The themes on the album range from broader topics such as societal values, to much more intimate subjects like the band’s relationships with their own music.
