Three months in the past, WINGER guitarist John Roth informed Sam Wall in regards to the band’s upcoming LP: “[There’s] 12 songs on the album. One tune’s a fairly large shock.
“To me not less than, there’s all the time a tune on a WINGER album that comes at you from left area,” he defined. “Like on ‘Karma’, we did a blues tune — Kip [Winger, WINGER frontman] and I co-wrote a tune referred to as ‘After All This Time’. On ‘Higher Days Comin”, the title monitor, ‘Higher Days Comin”, it is sort of funky and it is enjoyable and it is completely different for WINGER; WINGER‘s a reasonably heavier, darker, metal-ish sort of band. So there is a tune on this album that is very completely different for the band, which is cool.
“It is meticulously produced and recorded, [with] tons of layers of background vocals,” he added. “It is heavier lyrically, possibly. All of WINGER‘s information have a heavier overtone, as a result of the guitars are tuned low; it is simply extra aggressive. And there is a little little bit of a progressive aptitude on one of many songs. However I believe individuals are gonna actually benefit from the album. I hope it is effectively obtained.”
Roth additionally spoke in additional element in regards to the WINGER songwriting course of, saying: “Properly, Kip and Reb [Beach, guitar] are the first songwriters of the band; they’re the nucleus. However I did co-write one tune on this album with Kip.
“With WINGER, it usually begins [as] the musical thought. Lots of people write from lyrics and melodies. A lot of the songs I write, I’ve a melody or a lyric which is just like the nucleus or the place to begin for a tune. However with WINGER, it is a riff, it is a musical thought.
“I bear in mind after I was first co-writing with Kip on some songs on ‘Higher Days Comin”, we’re not demoing the songs. We’re writing ’em; we’re recording the precise songs,” he defined. “So, I am him, going, ‘How have you learnt that you simply simply need yet one more bar right here?’ He is, like, ‘I hear the place I wanna go together with the lyrics.’ And I am, like, ”Trigger you are making a variety of actually big-time choices for the association,’ and we’re recording remaining guitar elements and the lyrics should revolve round it.
“So every thing begins with the music with WINGER,” Roth added. “However because the songs are being written and the riffs are coming about, the melodies are in Kip‘s head. Kip‘s the maestro, ? He is the maestro of the band. So he is pondering as we’re writing — what the melodies are gonna [be], how they’re gonna work across the riffs, and inevitably making remaining judgment calls on the association as we’re reducing the songs. [It] was you’d demo songs. You’d demo a tune out, and typically you could not beat the demo. You would be, like, ‘There is a magic on the demo we can not beat.’ So WINGER actually does not have that downside anymore ‘trigger as we’re writing the songs, we’re reducing the ultimate elements.”
Requested if he enjoys working that manner, Roth stated: “I prefer it. I prefer it, ‘trigger stuff strikes quick. It is fast. It is thrilling. As a result of a tune can sit there while you’re layering elements on a tune for months at a time. It will possibly get somewhat bit too thought out, what I imply? So while you’re writing and also you’re creating the tune, the ultimate [album version], while you’re writing [and recording it] as an alternative of arising with the demo [first], it is thrilling. Issues transfer quick.”
WINGER‘s subsequent LP would be the follow-up to 2014’s “Higher Days Comin'”.
In December 2020, Seashore described the brand new WINGER materials to the 213Rock Podcast by saying: “It is WINGER — heavy riffs with massive vocals. Very catchy songs and really heavy stuff — very progressive.”
A month earlier, Seashore informed the “Pat’s Soundbytes Unplugged” podcast that he and Kip had initially pieced collectively concepts for 11 tracks for WINGER‘s subsequent album, however that Kip “threw away six of ’em, saying that this needs to be like the primary BOSTON document the place each tune is plain. And he simply desires it to be progressive and like nothing he is laborious earlier than,” he stated. “I introduced him these riffs which are simply straight-ahead rock riffs, and he stated, ‘I already know what the following three chords are gonna be after I’ve heard three chords.’
“We’re going for one thing that is poppy and sing-along stuff but cool, heavy, progressive riffs — sort of like [2009’s] ‘Karma’,” Reb defined. “That is what we’re going for.”
