The Orange
Peels | “Everybody’s Gone” x 3 (4-Track Demo, California Version, Album
Mix)
The Orange Peels chatted
with LA Weekly about the Square reissue (aka Square³
aka Square
Cubed aka Square x 3) as well as the band’s upcoming
double-album of all-new material, scheduled for release in the fall of 2020. Click
through to read more and to hear “Thank
You,” the band’s first
new single in over two years.
“For many artists, music is never complete,” says American Songwriter in its
piece on the “evolution of a song,” in this case, the 4-track demo, scrapped
California version, and re-mastered album mix of “Everybody’s Gone,” taken from 1997 debut album Square
by The Orange Peels. “The band is
paying tribute to one of its go-to and most endearing songs, “Everyone’s Gone” by releasing the
various versions of the song that have existed since its inception, thus
documenting how it’s grown alongside the band.”

About | The
Orange Peels | Square³ aka Square Cubed aka Square x 3
Becoming The
Orange Peels:
Allen Clapp explains: It’s 1995. The musical landscape is
littered with bands drowning in self-loathing, feigned rage, and a decidedly
non-literal definition of irony. The timing couldn’t be worse to embark on
recording sessions for a collection of earnest, melodic pop songs.
But it’s exactly what happened. Little did I know that
the project would have me and my bandmates jumping between three different
record labels and two producers, or that it would wind up being released under
a band name I couldn’t have imagined.
Everything that happened in the next two years would
redefine my concept of making music and what it meant to be in a band. It’s how
and why we became The Orange Peels.
So why are we here in the early light of 2019,
revisiting this album that came out in 1997? Three reasons.
Square Cubed?
First, the album never came out on vinyl, and we’ve
always talked about the idea of eventually releasing it as a 12” LP. We
sequenced the original release in two halves, and have always thought of it as
having a Side A and a Side B (with “Spaghetti-O
Western” as the end of the first side, and “She is Like a Rose” kicking off the second).
Second, there are two unreleased versions of the album
that tell the story of how we got where we were going and how we became a band
in the process (there’s a whole version of the record recorded on a 4-track,
and there’s a whole version of the album we recorded and mixed in California
and finished in 1996).
Third, we want to re-master the original tapes and
collect all this stuff to make the ultimate edition of our debut album. Ultimately,
it would be great to put all of this on vinyl and release it as a triple
album—and if there’s enough interest, that could still happen—but
realistically, we’re hoping to release a re-mastered version of the original
album on heavy, 180-gram vinyl with a double CD holding all the bonus
materials.
Ok, we know it’s not really Square³—it’s really more
like Square
x 3. Poetic license invoked.
