It was the year 2020. Benjamin and I were close to getting this banger, Flipside, ready. On our way home from the studio we were pondering who could play drums on this track. We'd need someone really special to nail it, as the tune deserved a special beat.
In Kurvi we bumped into a friend of mine and we talked for a while. At some point I said "Hey, you're a badass drummer and we need a badass beat for our badass track. Are you interested in playing some drums for us?"
And the answer was yes. This yeasaying friend of mine has said yes countless times after that dramatic, fateful autumn night. Thank you for your optimistic attitude, Jussi Peevo.
Flipside out in one week 🫨 Pre-save link in bio.
P.S. Guess which of these two fills ended up on the record?
My first single is titled Bathroom Sex. This is a song about how hard it can be to approach someone who has caught your eye. Some people have gotten around this by claiming ownership of other people's bodies - and that is fucked up.
The hero of this tune doesn't believe in pre-learned pick-up lines and ends up going home alone. The melancholic setting is overridden by the carefree attitude of the narrator.
Pre-save the track and listen to it this Friday: https://wearergm.lnk.to/BathroomSex

This is my friend Benjamin. We've been working on my album for five years. The gear we've been using might interest some of you nerds out there. This Mellotron M400 from the early 70's is playing a big role on the album and you can hear its iconic string samples on the first single. The single will be out in six weeks. #mellotron #minimoog #randb #countdown #benleh #baabek
