You think we’d know Jared Putnam by now.
Over the course of three albums, five EPs, numerous
singles, 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, Putnam
releases “I Don’t Care”, the first
single from Anticipation Pops (Aug.
24th, Slow Start Records),
the upcoming fourth album by The March Divide, produced by Mike Major (At The Drive In, Sparta,
Gone Is Gone). Hear the track now
and read an interview with Putnam
courtesy of Glide
Magazine.
Putnam says of the tune, “I think there’s something really
special about a two-minute pop song, it’s like a shot of adrenaline. Writing a
song like that is like a flash. It’s a slow build of liberation and confidence,
expressed in two minutes.”
Anticipation Pops is Putnam’s
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.
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. The album’s
first single “I Don’t Care” is available now along
with digital, CD and vinyl pre-orders at Bandcamp.
