The March Divide | About
“This will be the last in my series of distractions.”
Jared Putnam of
The March Divide has been releasing two and three-song singles
throughout 2019 as real-time follow-ups to his most recent full-length album, Anticipation
Pops, released in the summer of 2018. “Distractions, Vol. 5” is
out today.
“Something I started as an outlet to release songs I
was working on between releases has slowly evolved into more of a personal songwriting
challenge,” Putnam explains. “I knew that I wanted to push myself to
finish the series before the year was over, so I really dove into a lot of new
releases from 2019 that I’ve found inspiring.”
Putnam lists
Pete Yorn’s collaboration with Jackson Phillips of Day Wave
as a stand-out.
“He brought a whole new vision to what he was already
doing, flawlessly, in my opinion. I also found myself obsessed with the new Julia
Jacklin album Crushing and American Football’s LP3,
which made me wanna get that Fender sound back into my songs.”
Putnam was
also inspired to collaborate in more of a band setting than he has in quite
some time.
“I tapped my friend Bobby Rivas, a
crazy-talented writer and player, to help me with the overall direction of the
songs. He also helped bring a focus to the production that I often can’t find
on my own. I also had my friends Ernie Garcia on bass and Jason West
on drums.”
One of the resulting songs, “Crowded Room,” is
one of the catchiest The March Divide songs to date, and its
in-your-face, youthful quality really does call back to Putnam’s younger
years spent recording and touring with his then-band, The Conversation. Hear “Crowded Room” now.
“Distractions,
Vol. 5” is just the latest representation of Putnam’s evolved state
of mind and work ethic since that time. A mere three-song collection in a
catalog comprised of dozens of songs that Putnam has recorded and
released in only the last five years.
The new three-song single “Distractions, Vol. 5”
by The March Divide is out today. The first four releases in the series
are also out now, along with Anticipation Pops, the fourth
full-length album by The March Divide. All are available via Slow
Start Records.
Look for The
March Divide out on the road throughout the rest of 2019 and into 2020. Jared Putnam of The March Divide is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
