Seth plays acoustic guitar and loop station. From California, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, John Ludington from Absynth Quintet, a critically acclaimed gypsy-grass band, “…the lovechild of Beck and Frank Zappa…” Seth and John toured Europe in 2013 with their collaborative project, Forest Creature. Shaun Jones from Heck Yup, will be gently shredding electric guitar. Laura Lee Jones wearing an old washboard will tinker with auxiliary percussion & provide voice and theremin melodies. Beat professor, drummer extraordinaire, Dominic Marini is on his maiden voyage with Faergolzia.

The freak-folk group will be performing a full and varied cross-section of the peerless oddball music that has delighted and baffled audiences, collaborators, and critics alike for over a decade. Faergolzia will continue to shake musical conventions, making moments honest and organic in their exploration of possibility.

Song #21 – Truest Blood (FREE DOWNLOAD!!!)

June 11^th, 2015 seth faergolzia

So, it’s been a bit since my last posting. I have had a lot on my plate, booking a European tour not only for my band but also for my friend Danielle Ponder. It’s a crazy time with tons of time on the computer. I figured since I put out 4 songs in May, I could take a week to focus on these other things in my life which are getting neglected. Now I’m back with a vengeance! This song, Truest Blood was a blast to produce. I always wish I had more time to go deeper into it, but for now this is what you get, and I think it’s pretty awesome. It’s nice to have a job which gives me such great pride and brings joy to others. I only wish we could all have jobs of this sort… perhaps we can. Without further ado…

Die, and my heart will ache
ain’t no curing that awful ache
please don’t ever, please don’t go away
don’t think I could handle the pain

here is my healthy heart
coupled with a frantic mind
if you don’t mind the way I spend my days
I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you
I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you

clear as a crystal pond
where you go fishing with a magic wand
the game you catch try to create a bond
with you they’re melding your mind

in here you are
in my heart where doth flow truest blood
cannot go further in
this is all I know

This, this is all I know
I hope you see that I’m a simple man
please don’t expect me to have complex thought
I’m a simple man, it’s true

Please don’t ever go away
I don’t wanna have to live a day
without the love you give
don’t take it away
I see your eyes of blue

I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you
I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you

Clear as a crystal pond
where you go fishing with a magic wand
here is my healthy heart
coupled with a frantic mind
if you don’t mind the way I spend my days
I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you
I’ll gladly, though weirdly
I’ll gladly spend my days with you

in here you are
in my heart that doth flow truest blood
cannot go further in
this is all I know
this is all I know
this is all I know.

Extra for Song #20 – Garbage Night (Percussion-only version)

May 20^th, 2015 seth faergolzia

This is a track built entirely from cool pieces of metal which I’ve collected over the years. I am a strong believer in reusing what we have rather than creating more, in regards to keeping our environment in tact for the future of our race. Part of what I do in my daily life is to attempt to use less by collecting what others leave behind. I suppose that makes me sort of a scavenger, but I think it’s great! I have pretty much furnished my entire house with things I’ve found. There are things which were given to me and a couple things I’ve actually bought, but I generally only buy used things. blah blah blah.

I used all this percussion stuff from years of collection and finally made samples of them all. I will probably make the sample suite available to the public as well, following this project. My daughter helped me record all the little sounds which make up my collection. She and her best friend also did me the favor of singing backup on the chorus for the full song (which I’ll be posting in the next day or two)… I think they’re cute as cute can be. I had trouble not putting every little noise they made on this recording. Everything a little child does is pure gold!

I was listening back to this without vocals and without other instruments, and I just had to share it with you all. I just love the groove of it, and when you hear the song it goes with, you’ll be like, “how does that fit the song?” … but somehow it does. 🙂

Song #18 – A Monster On the Radio

May 8^th, 2015 seth faergolzia

**SUBSCRIBE**

Running a bit behind this week, friend, but I have still gotten the song completed and feeling good about it! 18 songs so far! Oh my! I had no idea how difficult this project would be, but I’m finding my way through, and learning a ton about myself as an artist and about how to craft a good recording. I think the knowledge I gain through this year of labor will make me the artist I’ve yearned to be for years! Struggling to keep up because I’ve started two new projects this week in addition to the song project. I’ve added a horn section to the 23 Psaegz band and have begun rehearsing them, and I’ve started work on the puppets for my rock opera, which we are planning on premiering at the end of this summer at the Purple Pig Music Festival. Here’s a pic of 2 puppet designs:

I highly suggest booking a ticket and making the journey. We will be performing all three nights of the festival with our 8 foot puppets!! It’ll be spectacular!!! That’s why I’m running late this week…. better late than never though! and with such a good song. I really have grown to love this one as I’ve gotten to know it better these past few days. I hope you will love it too!!
