“I wrote the lyrics on the spot, we recorded everything on Monday, mixed and mastered it on Saturday.  I like this song a lot, so I decided to turn it around right away and make it a free download.”  Los Angeles-based artist Faris McReynolds is talking about “Chase It Away,” the latest track by ExDetectives, one of his two solo projects (the other being One Finger Riot) that released a total of four full-length albums in 2012 spanning sonic references from Cornelius to Scott Walker.
.
“The ExDetectives albums were about clearing out some space for new ideas,” says McReynolds.  “That's exactly where this new ExDetectives song is coming from. I wanted this song to be simple, have space, and to play up the sounds that come from recording in my apartment.

An internationally renowned painter, in 2012 McReynolds returned to the music making that began years before when he found himself touring in a punk band as a teenager.  His two musical projects – ExDetectives and One Finger Riot – cranked out two albums a piece this year.  The latest singles available for download from these albums are the title tracks: Farthest Star by ExDetectives and Fly By Life by One Finger Riot.

Growing up in both Texas and India is probably why I have two musical projects that are so different,” McReynolds says about his dual musical personas. “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.”

Farthest Star by ExDetectives and Fly By Life by One Finger Riot are both available now via the Los Angeles-based Post Planetary label.  Faris McReynolds is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
