Search - Louden Swain :: SUIT AND TIE

Whereas Louden Swain's previous CD "Overachiever" dealt with scenarios and characters (the hospital patient and his unrequited love for the nurse on ?Cast Off? and the neurotic boyfriend on ?Codependent?), "Suit and Tie" addresses more personal life dilemmas. The songs deal with a range of issues, from being trapped in corporate hell (?Suit and Tie?, ?Rock Song?) to screwing up good relationships (?Gina Knows?, ?St. Louis?, ?Blind?), to mustering the courage to break out of the routine and do something with yourself before it?s too late (?Real Life?, ?A Lot to Learn?, ?Operator?). The songs rock harder (?Rockit?) and dig deeper (?Walk it Off?). Sonically, the band explores new realms, adding a string section on ?A Lot to Learn?, and utilizing more complex vocal harmonies through out the album.
