Singled Out: Whitacre “Seasons”

I am not quite sure where the genre set of Whitacre exactly falls. Its rock, but with faded edges, dusted with a bit of red dirt and coffee-stained. Theres a grit, but electric tubey guitar lines that flow throughout in a beautiful fashion. This new tune from the band is the kind of shit that anthems for generations are made of. Driving. Heart. Soul. Passion.

Who: Whitacre

From: Denver, Colorado

Song: “Seasons”

Latest Record: Seasons

What About It: “My favorite memory about the song “Seasons” was writing the chorus together as a band. Our old guitar player, Bob Bullington, threw in an ‘F’ chord that brought out a 60s/70s vibe. He then played the progression over and over again and randomly said, “This song is making me hate Richard Nixon.” It was such a random and hilarious moment of writing and recording the tune.” – Mark Cunningham (drummer)
