Skullcrusher releases dark and light versions of debut album title track
completemusicupdate.comSkullcrusher has released two new singles: ‘They Quiet The Room’ and ‘Quiet The Room’. They are two different versions of the same song, taken from her upcoming album ‘Quiet The Room’.“’Quiet The Room’ is the first song I wrote for the album although I didn’t know it yet”, she says. “It felt like opening a secret door into a new world.
I wrote it on the piano I grew up with and inevitably felt the presence of my childhood self. This would linger with me throughout the process of making the record”.“Simply put, the song is about communication and isolation, the kind experienced by a child that influences their journey into adulthood”, she goes on. “I was thinking about my childhood bedroom but also an unknown room, surreal and empty but for the weighted presence of things unsaid”.“The basis of the recording is a live performance I did at Dreamland studios in Woodstock, NY”, she adds. “From that take we added field recordings and room ambience – crickets, creaking, doors opening and closing, footsteps, etc.
It wasn’t until a year later that I revisited the song as the beginning of this album”.As for the second version of the song, she explains: “I had a thought to write an alternate version of the song with different chords on guitar.
