16 May 2018 - 0 Comments
One
of New Zealand’s most acclaimed songwriters returns to releasing music, but in
a new way. Feeling strangled by music industry release norms of
premieres, deadlines and embargoes on his music, Lawrence
Arabia decided to take a step closer to his fans sending them
his new music as he makes it.

The rest of us just need to wait until for a few weeks until the wheels of
industry have churned the new music through its machinery, which for Single
No.4 - is today!
Welcome to A Little Hate with Heather Mansfield (The Brunettes) on
shared vocals and Liam Finn on drums.
Abstract:
Kind of an aggro driving song about internet trolls.

Production Notes:
Mercifully, this was one of those songs that didn't ever really descend into a bitter wrestling match with the muse.
I made the first demo sometime in late 2017, and apart from not having the middle section and last verse, it pretty much came out as you hear it. Drum machine and horrible distorted guitar was the gist.
Once I'd completed the horrendously difficult One Unique Creature, I asked Liam Finn to record a real drum part at his place in Los Angeles which came out pretty darn brilliantly, and provided the basis to re-record all the original demo instruments as more of a linear performance.
All the rest of the tracking was a joy cos it meant I got to play with one of my favourite musicians and friends via magic headphones.
The one finishing touch was to ask my friend Heather Mansfield, the former singer of The Brunettes, to add her voice to mine, mostly in unison, to the whole reverby noisy mess. It just needed it!
So there you have it – A Little Hate.
