“Miles” is the first single from Fly By Life, the second album by One
Finger Riot
+++
Los Angeles-based band One Finger Riot released its second album Fly By Life today. The
album features the single “Miles” which was recently premiered by popular music
discovery website My Old Kentucky Blog
here: http://www.myoldkentuckyblog.com/?p=34880.
Fly
By Life is s the second One Finger Riot full-length released in
2012 and is one of four album releases overall this year by lone musician Faris McReynolds, who also records and
performs under the name ExDetectives.
Before McReynolds
spent most of his time making music, he spent most of his time as a
gallery-backed painter. His success in
that field (examples of his work can be viewed at stardustlane.com) provided fuel for his
revitalization of a life-long interest in music that saw him touring in a punk
band when he was only 16-years-old.
“All of the time that I spent unable to invest in
music because of painting is mine again,” McReynolds
exclaims. “I’m much happier being able to make music, even if it costs me support
in the art world.”
Discussing the new single “Miles,” McReynolds
notes that “I wanted to try making something really busy with a really simple
vocal. This was one the first tracks I made after the last album, and I think
it was pretty much about undoing that clinical aesthetic and giving myself a
starting point for the new record. It’s just a simple song about moving forward
and not letting the cynics get you down.”
As for his other project, ExDetectives, which also has its second album, titled Farthest
Star (Oct. 23rd, Post Planetary)
on tap, McReynolds offers an
explanation for why he needs to distinguish the two musical personas.
“Growing up in Texas and India is probably why I have
two musical projects that are so different,” he says. “I’ve been exposed to so
much through the culture that I’ve experienced travelling the world with my
art. It’s given me so much that I want to explore musically and it doesn’t
all fit into one box.”
Fly
By Life by One Finger Riot is out today via the Los Angeles-based Post Planetary label. Faris McReynolds is available for
