Gary Reynolds is releasing a Song A Week for the next year

Gary Reynolds is putting out a song a week for the next year! Below I ask him about this ambitiously creative master plan and he patiently explains it all to me.

Reynolds and his band the Brides of Obscurity have been releasing records, playing KEXP's Audioasis and local venues, and supporting and recording with many other Pacific NW bands for a while. As local scribe/promoter Barbara Mitchell describes him, "Gary is a mad genius. He's the kind of guy who's great at crafting songs and collecting good people around him than he is at promoting himself. He's from Texas. He not only knows a great song, but he's skilled at assembling a great team."

Graig Markel (Animals At Night) adds, "Gary is the owner of Electrokitty Studio. I'm not really sure how he is going to pull this song a week thing off! But he is insane, however, and I don't doubt that he will do it. He is a creative lunatic who makes records for his own band in the vein of the Beatles, Nilsson, Emmit Rhodes, and other late 60s, early 70s classics. He also mixed the upcoming Head Like a Kite album."
