The Wake Effect (13 original songs by Capt. M. Del Palazzo )

(Troops can download them from the MFT home page)

Radiophonic American. Acoustic, electronic, melodic, rock. And not in that order.  But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what SPIN Magazine had to say;

-SPIN: The music seems very eclectic. I’m sure you’ve heard all the comparisons, yes?
-TWE: I’d like to think of it as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, and Styx were all in a room together, got violently drunk, fought
...and I won.
-SPIN: Are you serious? You just said The Beatles and Styx in the same sentence.
-TWE: Oh, I’m dead serious. No, of course not. What’s important to remember here is that nothing is really important, especially comparisons.
-SPIN: Ok, so you don’t take yourself very seriously? Do you take the same approach to your music?
-TWE: Not at all, actually. I feel very strongly about this record. I locked myself in my spare bedroom and denied myself a life for a long while, all for the sake of putting down every sound and song that has been inside my head for years.
-SPIN: All of the songs on Step One have a distinctive signature, but are all different. You kind of run the gamut from melodic hard rock to alt/acoustic ballads, to electronic space rock. Do you think you’ll find an audience for your brand of music?
-TWE: Radiophonic American, baby! That’s the sound. To answer your question...probably not. I am all over the place on this album. Record Labels wouldn’t touch this one with a ten-foot pole. Too many angles to market. It’s cool though, cause I know I’m awesome.
-SPIN: I did notice the recurring theme throughout the album. What’s all this ‘Risk & Uncertainty’ bit? Is this a concept album?
-TWE: Ugh... You mean like Tommy? No. With permission I borrowed the theme from a band that I’m a big fan of. It fits in with life right now. And it really stems from one riff that I couldn’t stop playing for years. I took it and made four very different songs based from it, all encompassing that one riff, or theme. I think it really ties an album of very different songs together. Kind of like a good rug does for a room.
-SPIN: Sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into the album.
-TWE: Everything you hear or see, there’s something behind it.
-SPIN: What’s the writing and recording process like for the band?
-TWE: Well, it’s pretty simple. I come up with a bad-ass idea. I turn it into a song, and they do what I tell them. No, I’m just kidding. I wrote and recorded all of the songs. I had some help from a session producer/drummer, but the whole album was something that I thought out, note by note.
-SPIN: That sounds like a lot of time and effort for one person. What drove you to undertake something like that?
-TWE: Alcohol. Vodka and Monster energy drink actually. And the fact that it’s something I’ve always wanted to do since I started listening to music.
-SPIN: So what direction are you going to go next with your music?
-TWE: You know, I can’t decide. I really do love the electronic stuff on there like ‘Ten Things’ and ‘Selacid’. I’m certainly going to incorporate more of that, but I could never get away from the conventional rock and acoustic side. I think what I’m going to do is just tighten up the songs. On the next album I’ll attempt to make every track have an immediate, undeniable impact. On Step One, I think that tracks like Fragile, Edinburgh’s Song and some others have a delayed hook. They may take a few listens to grow on you. Who knows.
-SPIN: Well thanks for talking with us today. Best of luck with the album.
-TWE: That’s it?! ...no photo shoot?
-SPIN: No.

The parts about the music being awesome are all true though.
