Mere Mortals by Geoffrey Gosset
The Lumberjack Feedback is a post-metal, instrumental band with two drummers. This stands as a part of the originality of the band. No singing and a lot of drums. This can be described as a blessing and a curse at the same time, as we stand out from the crowd a little more easily, but it cuts us from a larger audience who may want to hear lyrics too…
‘Mere Mortals’ has had a full year of the writing process, going back and forth between structures and ambiences, plus recording, mixing, etc… Being instrumental implies you have to tell something by a different mean than lyrics. So it’s kinda hard to explain what every track means to us, but that’s also the beauty of it, everybody will have a different interpretation. But usually, the title of the track is the clue of what was the inspiration of it.
We have no fixation here as such, no. Actually, I think, for us, that the process works backwards. Structure ideas, riffs, particular drum beats, all of these elements during the writing or rehearsal process give the song its colours and mood. And then it leads us to something that we will develop and link to something we saw/heard, etc…
