Demos are always an interesting entity. A demo is its own animal, and can do one of three things: it can represent your band perfectly, it can misrepresent you entirely, or it can over represent you in a way that you will never be able deliver on.
With that being said, rust belters, The Tracks have just released their demo, minimally titled Spring 2014 Demos. The demo consist of two tracks, “Laurel Go Marching” and “My Friend,” and the two songs could not be further apart. “Laurel Go Marching” consist of ghostly guitars, over dubs and layers galore, synthesizers, percussion, and just production in general. Then there’s “My Friend,” which makes you feel like you’re stuck in some late 80’s high school tragedy movie starring Christian Slater. The common attribute that both songs share are manipulated audio, causing both music and vocals to fade in and out as well as change in pitch and tone. The words I would use to describe this demo would be “an interesting entity,” besides I would never judge a band solely on their demo, that would be like voting for a politician based on promises.
