Andrew Deadman | About
“I grew up dreaming of making albums not streams,”
says Los Angeles-based songwriter Andrew
Deadman. “I miss songs and I tried to write an album’s worth of em.”
Deadman’s debut solo album Santa Monica Airport 1987
is the eclectic and electric album he set out to make. The songs brim with an
inescapable energy and crunch that is often absent in today’s barrage of cut
and run singles that sometimes come up short in the passion department.
“I wrote and produced the songs on this record hoping
they don’t belong in any time or era,” Deadman
claims, and the album plays that way. The instinct to plop the needle down on
any of these cuts doesn’t invoke the fashion of the day, it calls back to more
authentic days gone by. Days that saw Deadman
dropping out of school at 17-years-old to realize dreams, not streams.
Traveling the world, sleeping on benches and busking
for change, by 20-years-old, Deadman
drifted to Los Angeles, taking up odd jobs to support himself while writing and
recording in a home studio that he assembled piece by piece over time.
Eventually, Deadman
would release several self-produced records under the name The Temporary Thing, and like his own years of drifting, would eventually
find their way overseas to the playlists of John Peel. Opportunities presented themselves, and soon Deadman’s bedroom creations were being
heard on television shows such as “The
New Girl,” “Love,” “Gossip Girl,” “Togetherness,” “Community,”
and many others.
The fame comes before the fortune, and although Deadman was moving his music now, he
was also continuing to move pianos – a different kind of music business – and a
trade he was taught by his father.
Deadman developed a reputation in Los Angeles for not only
his piano moving, but his ability to move giant vintage recording consoles and
priceless gear. Through these jobs, he worked
with Keifer Sutherland and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s band The
Heartbreakers, among others.
Dreams are often subject to reality, and after
breaking his hand on a job, the sidelined Deadman
was relegated to driving. Through it all, he never gave up on his own musical
road, and when he found himself giving guitarist Davey Catching (Eagles of
Death Metal, Queens of The Stone Age)
a ride from Los Angeles to his studio in Joshua Tree, a new lane emerged.
A gracious discount from Catching allowed Deadman
to record Santa Monica Airport 1987, and for you to hear it. On the
record, Deadman is joined by his
longtime drummer and collaborator, Kevin
Day, along with Ben Stone on
bass.
Santa Monica Airport 1987, featuring the singles “A Day Without The Storm,”
“Sometimes
The Dogs Don’t Find You,” and “Silent
Scream,” is out now via Chicago’s Minty
Fresh Records.
Deadman realized the dream, so compromised on the stream: hear it here.
Santa Monica Airport 1987, the debut solo album from Andrew Deadman is out now featuring the single “A Day Without The Storm”. Andrew
Deadman is available for interviews. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for
