Peter Matthew Bauer - Skulls
b'
Peter Matthew Bauer - "Skulls" from the 2022 album Flowers on Fortune Tellers.
With\\xa0The Walkmen still on hiatus, multi-instrumentalist\\xa0Peter Matthew Bauer continues their anthemic style of indie rock on his latest solo LP,\\xa0Flowers. On today\'s Song of the Day, he displays the ways he\'s developed musically since the band took a break.
"\'Skulls\'\\xa0was inspired by a new style of guitar playing that I stumbled on," he told Under the Radar. "In all the years I\\u2019d made music, I\\u2019d never figured out a way to take a guitar solo before. I started using a distortion pedal and a space echo, playing these kind of waterfalling guitar riffs over some farfisa chords. It felt really loose and brought me a lot of joy. From there, I tried to write a very joyous melody to match it. There\\u2019s a record by Peter One and Jess Sah Bi, it\\u2019s a kind of 1980s country rock record from the Cote d\\u2019Ivoire. I feel like their style of melodies really inspired me throughout this album. Just the rhythm and the way they\\u2019re both laid back but really letting go."
