Erick Messler

Erick Messler came to SnowGhost armed with a set of beautifully arranged acoustic numbers. The songs were desolate and sparse, much what you might picture his hometown of South Dakota to be like. Erick had enlisted the help of Portland's CarCrashLander to back him in the studio, and on stage while on the trip. Cory Gray's trumpet was the perfect accompaniment to Erick's fragile sound, and lifted the somber songs into a new light.

The first day started with Eric laying down vocals and guitars for 4 new songs, as we were waiting for the rest of the musicians to arrive. Eric is getting a little help from friends Cory of Carcrashlander, Greg of Graves, and session drummer Brian, all hailing from Portland, Oregon.... So far we have a great blend of quiet folk and ambient textures. It's really fun to make quiet recordings because you get to capture all of the subtleties that we often miss in pop music. Just think about what it sounds like to breath. That's how quiet these tracks are, I know you will love it.
