Doe Deere: Making the most outdated modern music known to man
IT’S OFFICIAL - the 80s are back! Era, which single-handedly blew a hole in the ozone layer, kept us up all night with visions of Freddy Krueger, and exposed us to a whole lot of bad denim. But - it’s not the mullets that have the fascination of the modern youngsters. It’s the fun, electronic music, which dominated MTV 20 years ago, that’s quickly finding its way into the nightclubs and hipsters’ iPods today!
Making a record that sounds like it’s from 1985 – but isn’t – was a secret ambition of mine for many years. Why? Because being born a decade too late shouldn’t be reason enough to miss out on the biggest party of the century: the 80s! Alas, the climate for such a project didn’t seem welcoming until very recently, when producers like Timbaland and Danja began using quirky synthpop sounds in their arrangements. At last, the timing was right – in fact, it was now or never!
In 2007, armed with a vintage Yamaha keyboard and a more contemporary Korg Triton, I set out to emulate the pop sound of the decades past - in my bedroom studio. As I wrote and arranged the 5 songs over the course of four months, posters of Tears For Fears, Depeche Mode, and Modern Talking shot curious glances at me from the walls.
I met producer Jimmy R. Landry (Capitol/EMI) on Craigslist - a die-hard Tears For Fears fan, he liked my crazy idea of making an 80s record in 2007! In the studio we experimented with vocoder, vintage pre-amps, drum loops, and added textural guitars which brought the arrangements together.
‘Supernatural’ turned out just the way I had envisioned it: a fun dance-pop record filled to the brim with hooks, and - most importantly – ability to take you back to that rad party in 1985! Click below to listen to my song on Z100!
