On Shakey Graves new song “The Perfect Parts,” The Austin-based musician Alejandro Rose-Garcia turns up the amps for a blues-driven style of guitar playing that would satiate fans of the Black Keys and Gary Clark, Jr. “It’s the aggressive peak,” he says of where the song fits into his new album “And the War Came.”
That said, the song’s been a long time coming. Rose-Garcia says he wrote the melody in high school, but the story within is something more recent. “I was spending a lot of time ogling a certain lady in my home town and I felt very led on,” he says. “In reality I doubt she had any idea that I was pining so hard. We explored the concept of being trapped in your home town and the concept of growing out of a situation.”
Rose-Garcia started Shakey Graves in 2008 while logging time as an actor – he had a reoccurring role on Friday Night Lights, which was shot in Austin. He recorded his debut album “Roll the Bones” by himself and put it up on Bandcamp, where it’s become one of the music distribution site’s biggest sellers.
