Per Minute
“Pick Me Up” is the second featured track from the upcoming Music
for Film (Feb. 12th – Dead Letter Records) album by San
Antonio-based band The March Divide.
While most of the songs on the album feature band leader Jared Putnam’s lead vocals, “Pick
Me Up” is a tune that Putnam
wrote for singer Laura Wheeler to
vocalize.
“I wrote ‘Pick
Me Up’ knowing it was Laura’s to
sing,” Putnam explains. “The song is about not being able to get over
being let down by someone you really care about. It portrays a feeling you just
can’t get past.” Putnam recently discussed the upcoming album with David Brown of NPR-affiliate KUTX,
Austin on his “Texas Music Matters”
program. Listen to the piece here: http://texasmusicmatters.tumblr.com/post/40269737692/today-on-texas-music-matters-jared-putnam-of-the.
Music for Film is a fresh start for Putnam
after leaving the rock and roll life following many years on the road with his
band The Conversation. “All of that
time on tour wrecked my personal life,” he explains. “But, it only took a
couple of years before the void from not playing was just too big to ignore.” An
acoustic-based record that only has a full drum kit on half of the songs, the
unique sound of Music for Film still maintains distinct references to Putnam’s louder influences such as The Promise Ring and Cursive, and Putnam’s love of Elliott
Smith comes out in the album’s catchy
hooks, clever lyrics and unexpected upbeat moments.
The March
Divide will tour in support of Music
for Film in early 2013. See
below for upcoming confirmed dates. Jared Putnam of The March Divide is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
