Creative Audio Laboratory Shares Third Single “Eggshells” (Produced by Jason Falkner) with Epic Music Video
"Like a big sad 70s soft ballad fed through an 80s 4AD kind of clean 90s side hustle with an early 2000s know-how yet totally current!" - Eddie Ruscha
Creative Audio Laboratory has shared new single ‘Eggshells”, out now on all platforms via Weirdo Music Forever Records. “Eggshells” is CAL’s third single, following the success of debut track “All Along” and follow-up “You Don’t Need a Reason”. Both the new track and its companion music video are out June 17.
The “Eggshells” video strikes a flawless balance between heartwarming and epic as it follows CAL on a unique adventure that traverses lesser-explored corners of Tijuana, fantastical snowy terrain (manifested through heavy does of cinematic wizardry), and even the authentic, breathtaking, and fabled landscape of La Rumorosa.
On the music side of this third installment of the ongoing audiovisual CAL adventure, pop music legend Jason Falkner once again handles all production, recording, arranging, and mixing duties in addition to his signature masterful performance contributions. As with “All Along” and “You Don’t Need a Reason”, the new summer single “Eggshells” was tracked at Falkner’s Rhetoric Studio in Echo Park.
Eddie Ruscha (Secret Circuit, E Ruscha V, etc.) had the following to say about “Eggshells”: "[It’s] like a big sad 70s soft ballad fed through an 80s 4AD kind of clean 90s side hustle with an early 2000s know-how yet totally current!"
On working with Jason Falkner, Anders remarks:
“Jason and I have known each other personally for some years now, and I was a passionate fan of his work before even meeting him. There was never a doubt in my mind while I was writing the songs that Jason would be the ideal collaborator to bring these songs to life as recordings. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I can’t imagine anyone else producing this music as brilliantly as he did.
When I sent Jason the demos, he immediately understood what I was hoping the recordings would eventually become. Jason is a true virtuoso in the studio, and his production, arrangement, engineering, musicianship, and mixing all helped make these songs something of which I am exceptionally proud. And on top of all that, he made me feel comfortable singing my own songs, which is something to which I’m not accustomed since up until now I’ve always been first and foremost a drummer.
I think we both had a lot of fun not only recording these songs, but also just hanging out and talking as we worked. I’m really excited that the positive energy and friendship during the sessions is reflected in the recordings, which I feel are exceptionally honest, compelling, and unique.”
Jason adds:
“When Anders sent me the demos he had made for this collection of songs asking if I would be interested in recording them at my studio I was pleasantly surprised by their directness and sweet subtle charm. We immediately clicked on some concepts. 70's soft rock delivered by an alien pretty much became our modus operandi. We had an absolute blast making this music and I hope our transmissions are received.”
