Iwazaru / Mizaru

"In 2015 we wrote three songs named after the 'hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil' monkeys. The track Mizaru was a proper musical collaboration between Nathan and I - it was written on a Fender Bass VI which is sort of somewhere between a bass and a guitar. We tried to get the dream-like vibe of impressionist composers like Satie and Debussy - I still love that song and we play it all the time live. There's a really grumbly cool sound from a BOSS slicer pedal in the second verse that I wish we turned up louder in the mix. Iwazaru is some kind of weird off-kilter bossa nova with lyrics basically telling myself to stop talking so much (here I am five years later typing random spiel).
