You think we’d know Jared Putnam by now.
Over the course of three albums, five EPs, numerous
singles (including
the recent two-song “Distractions: Vol.
1”), and a batch of cover songs in a mere half-decade, Putnam’s mostly one-man project The March Divide has delivered a
seemingly unending stream of songs that have established the San Antonio-based
artist as one of the best rock songwriters working today.
Today, in additional to launching another leg of his
nearly non-stop touring schedule (see itinerary below), Putnam’s announces the upcoming release of the fourth The March Divide album. Anticipation
Pops (Aug. 24th, Slow Start Records) is his best work to
date, mostly because the ten songs here reveal a greater emotional depth, along
with performances, and lyrics, that go beyond anything that Putnam has offered up before. Perhaps
his near-manic recording and touring schedule was prologue that has led to the
relatable sensitivity that is this album.
“This record feels like a new direction,” Putnam says.
Recording at home on the fly, and skipping his usual
demo and pre-production process, has allowed Putnam to maintain a spontaneous feeling that informs these songs,
and obviously kept him from overthinking lyrics or anything else that stood in
the way of a group of tunes that could be called “raw” if Putnam wasn’t so good at producing himself and if the word “raw”
didn’t scream “under produced.”
That is to say: These songs sound great.
Putnam claims that the work on Anticipation Pops
represent a thematic “consistent inconsistency,” different from his more
planned past albums. And while he dials that back when he agrees that the album
is cohesive, he’s either being modest, or is far enough outside of his comfort
zone now not to notice that Anticipation Pops is actually his
most thematic record of all.
Writing ten personal songs from a unique perspective,
but relatable to everyone, is an artistic goal most songwriters never achieve. Putnam affirms that he made Anticipation
Pops by deciding, “this is what I’m doing, take it or leave it.”
Apparently he didn’t know that the result would be the work his fans can care
for most of all.
Anticipation Pops, the fourth full-length album by The March Divide is out August
24th, 2018, on the artist’s recently co-founded Slow Start Records label. “Distractions: Vol. 1,” the first in a
series of singles releases, including the
track “Get In Line,” is
available now.
