Maxeen Offer Free Tracks

June 3, 2008 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Maxeen is offering a couple of tracks for free download on their MySpace page. You can read a message about the tracks below.

We thought it would be cool from time to time to put up some “rarer” Maxeen tracks that you could DOWNLOAD . . . keep the fires burning a bit, we guessed.

Expect some new stuff every week or two–b-sides, live tracks, demos, acoustic versions of things. Believe it or not, we have a wealth of material that we’re sitting on that got seriously shelved when we signed to Warner Brothers. Lots of special nuggets and goodies that never got a chance to surface and see the sunshine.

This week there are two new tracks . . . “Wrap The World Around You” is, what Jay felt, one of Maxeen’s best songs ever recorded. It captures their spontaneity and power, but was also a very clever story. Tom got the lyrical idea from watching an old documentary from the 70s. Anyone that guesses it wins some cool shit. Our A&R guy at Warner Brothers, in all his mighty wisdom, felt the track wasn’t strong enough to make Hello Echo. We all thought he was crazy, but went along with it thinking that he might have known something we didn’t (now we KNOW he was crazy!).

The other track is called “Sea of Plastic.” This was recorded very early on in 2003 at a club in Hollywood called King King. We were babies. Tempos were out of control. But this was a song that was written almost on the spot. We recorded an instrumental studio version of the song, but that too never came to fruition.
