the 'guilty pleasure' series:


MAX BRODY:
GUILTY PLEASURE VOL. 2: FREE JAZZ (FNORD)


1. 4 02:21
2. 3 04:10
3. 2 03:28
4. 1 09:50

The "Guilty Pleasure Series" are an on-going set of recordings in totally different veins. Sometimes, I get in an extra experimental mood, or off on a tangent. Most likely, they will be a one-time affair only, but you never know...VOL 2 is an homage to my free jazz roots...sorta (fnord).

GUILTY PLEASURE, VOL 1.  THE BEACH BOYS
Max Brody, all performances and production. 

All songs written by The Beach Boys. 

What can I say.  In 2010, I was having a mid-to-late 1960's moment.   After all the stress that I had been going through in my personal life, I decided to create something that would use a lot of "pretty" tones as opposed to the very aggressive and distorted ones I had been used to making.  I needed to make a happy place with music for a while instead of vent frustration or flex muscles, I guess.  So, this was the first set of tunes I did with this mindset, using favorites from the Beach Boys psychedelic period.  I'm not a HUGE Beach Boys fan, but a lot of childhood memories are attached to their sound for me, which was just the happy place I needed.  I do think some of their songs are great, and that Brian Wilson is an inspiration.  I hope that he would not hate them if he ever were to hear this stuff somehow...ppppssssshhhhhtttt!

Anyway, soon I wanted to do a record like that with original music.  It was a whole different experience dealing with recording and mixing delicate tones rather than bludgeoning ones.  Plus, if a bludgeoning tone did get used it really stood out, so I got into the dynamics thing quite a bit.  That was the beginning of the "Smitty" project...but thats another story.
