“Lifted Off” is “the unintentional result of having
listened to ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ and ‘How Soon Is Now?’ about a million
times.”

“Complex and
dreamlike.” – USA Today
“Like Air? Yah, me too. Cool. So you'll
probably love One Finger Riot.” – MTV Buzzworthy
Los Angeles-based visual artist Faris McReynolds (see here
for some of his gallery work) is also a prolific songwriter and musician. McReynolds toured in a punk band as far
back as his early teens and in 2012, he
released a total of four full-length albums (two as One Finger Riot and two as ExDetectives),
gaining the attention of tastemakers such as MTV Buzzworthy, KEXP,
and My Old Kentucky Blog along the
way. McReynolds is now on to “Boredinaire,”
a series of four EPs that will comprise the next One Finger Riot project.
The first of the series “Boredinaire (Pt.1)” was released yesterday and USA Today’s Pop Candy column has the exclusive
premiere of the “Lifted Off”
single here. Columnist Whitney Matheson astutely compares the tune to the sound of Folk Implosion, while McReynolds himself says the song is
“the unintentional result of having listened to ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ and ‘How
Soon Is Now?’ about a million times each throughout my life.”
Of the new project, McReynolds explains, “I’ve been working on a dozen new songs for a
few months and ended up renting a garage in Joshua Tree for a couple of weeks
to do some live tracking,” he explains. “I’m not done with everything yet, but
I’m going to start by giving away ‘Lifted
Off’ because it’s done.”
Of the progression of his work, McReynolds says “I’m not really feeling cleaner sounds and sadder
songs anymore. ‘Lifted Off’ sounds
pretty different from the other One
Finger Riot songs. A lot more raw color. It’s the sound I’ve been hearing
all along, so now it’s a matter of taking my time to do it right by my own
standards.”
