Human Potential, the musical project of Andrew Becker, is set to release their anticipated new album, I Write Wedding Songs, on November 15, via What Delicate Recordings.
The album is the sixth release from Becker; an award-winning filmmaker and former drummer for both Dischord Records’ band, Medications, and Brooklyn provocateurs, Screens.
The track captures a 90s blend of indie rock with a hint of emo rock and a 90s Pacific Northwest quality that carries a feeling of a melancholic lush nature. Pretty vocals blend with the hypnotic guitar work that takes you for a spiritual and emotional ride.
Speaking on the track, Becker adds:
“Clear Notes For A New National Anthem” resulted from an attempt to turn my normal songwriting process on its head. I had convinced my friend, L. Skell (songwriter behind the album, Eldridge Skell’s The Rude Staircase’s “Sookie Jump”) to come up from Central America, where he had been living, and help produce the new batch of songs I was working on. Every previous album had been made, more or less, in complete solitude, with no outside input, so Skell’s presence was a disruption to my normal process, in and of itself.
