Cameron Winter has announced his debut solo album ‘Heavy Metal’, set for release via Partisan Records.
The Geese frontman’s new record was primarily recorded across various Guitar Center stores throughout New York, using in-store equipment to create what has been described as “hastily performed improvisations.”
“A year ago, I was inspired to make an album outside of my band Geese; unfortunately for Geese fans, I thought it would take four months and it took a year and a half,” Winter explains. “I got a lot of advice that it was too early to ‘go solo’, probably because most people feel that ‘solo albums’ come once a band is basically over the hill and that they’re usually uninspired cash grabs, but rest assured, my solo album is unique, because barely anybody knows who my band is, I’m young and not afraid of living with my parents and I’m free to chase whatever ideas I want.”
Winter has shared new track ‘$0’ ahead of the album’s 6th December release. “It was actually a great way to work,” he says of his recording process. “I had no time to overthink anything, I just played straight from the heart and recorded everything. After a day or two I’d inevitably get kicked out and I’d move on to the nearest franchise and keep working.”
