about

Inspired by a rhythm track that Les Paul created by recording the sound of him walking on a hard wood floor, I started the looping process doing the same. I ended up using a chaotic clatter of my shoes along with some low drum hits. Like a lot of the songs that I was creating in those 2 weeks of writing/ demoing, I began it thinking I was working on an instrumental track. I had a hard time not singing something over top that begged to have lyrics.
The title for this one was taken from a caption for a photograph from a science text book from the 60's. It was the promise of the great "White" future that had a slightly creepy undercurrent. I took the cue and wrote this about an over-zealous Neighbourhood Watch, protecting us from ourselves.
Scarlett Union (Winnipeg) did a great demo version of this. But unfortunately for me, it's never to be released until they post all of their demos!
