Here are some demos of our songs off our latest album, “Devour You”. I made them in one of the bedrooms of my two bedroom apartment, while my mom and brother (and the landlord who’s room is directly under my room) were sleeping. I would get home from my girlfriends house at about 11pm and start recording, waking everyone up. I get most of my ideas for songs late at night for some reason, and if I record something that I think is really good, I drive to Tim’s house and force him to wake up and get tacos with me so he can hear it. Some demos I spend more time on then others. ‘I Dont Need You’ was pretty much one take for everything, ‘No More Pennies’ I spent more time on because I really wanted to capture the whole idea. Usually the next morning I wake up and record the drums and sometimes lyrics, and then I send the songs to the band. Its always really nerve-wracking showing people songs at this stage because you don’t know what they’re gonna think of them, but it feels really good when everyone immediately likes it. That was the case for ‘No More Pennies’ and ‘I Dont Need You’. When everyone agreed they liked them, Arrow came over and sang on them and the band started learning the songs. We changed some things here and there and turned them into real Starcrawler songs.
I always like listening to demos of songs I really like and hearing the creative process of how things go from bedroom recordings to records. – Henri
