‘Songs From The Green Couch’ by Seth Swirsky | Album Premiere
Exclusive album premiere of ‘Songs From The Green Couch’ by indie-pop singer-songwriter Seth Swirsky, out April 8th via Lolipop Records.
Speaking on the album, Seth explained: “We all have a “safe space” — a place where we can go and escape from the world. The green couch in my art room in my house is such a space. It was there where most of the songs on this album were written, either on guitar or with lyrics—thus, the title, ‘Songs From The Green Couch’.
Rob Campanella — who engineered the album— introduced me to two guys in The Triptides: bassist Glenn Brigman and drummer Brendan Peleo-Lazar. The three of us (me on most guitars, pianos and mellotrons) became the core of the entire record. I sang all the vocals and arranged the live strings. L.A. musicians, Kirk Hellie and Fernando Perdomo contributed their talents on some songs as well. But, as I said, the core was myself and the Triptides, which added a certain ‘toughness’ to my natural pop sensibilities.
The record was a two year process: I started writing and recording the record at the beginning of a serious new relationship I was having — it continued during a very painful breakup. Thus, the album oscillates between many hi’s and lo’s for me personally, which are reflected in the lyrics.”
‘Songs from The Green Couch’ is his fourth album and is filled with 15 brand new original pop songs. Seth is also the founding member of the popular retro-pop, The Red Button.
