Listen to the latest single by Safari Room, here.
Hey there, Safari Room! How exciting is it that we're seeing yet another single release we're seeing from you guys! Can you elaborate more on "Young Water" and what the song entailed for our readers?
We’re excited too! It’s been a minute since our last release, and this one means a whole heck of a lot. The song was written by me and my friend, Jake Wesley Rodgers. We were co-writing a bit last year and sketches of Young Water came from that.SafariRoombecame the proper home for the song after doing a little soul searching and toying with the arrangement. It’s one of the band’s cheerier, more upbeat tunes, but it has a special place in our live sets amongst its siblings.
What kind of ambiance was the band attempting to reach with the way the production of "Young Water" took place? Was there a certain kind of mood you wanted your listeners to undergo once listening to the track?
Young Water is uplifting and optimistic at its core. We want people to groove and move to the song while empowering them to take control of life. If you go out and really push yourself and grind at the goals you want, something will come back in return. Also, the message has definitely been reframed in light of current events: Despite tricky times, we can persevere and pick ourselves up to keep moving together. And that sweet release you feel when you hit that stride — that’s what we’re talking about.
What kind of challenges would you say the band has encountered regarding your writing and recording process, especially considering the obstacles present in the current times?!
We’re incredibly lucky to live in a city where friends of ours have professional studios in their homes. The recording has been made incredibly accessible for us, as we all have gear in our homes as well! However, finance and scheduling are always factors that work against the recording process. As I [Alec] am the primary songwriter, new material comes from me taking time and writing on my own. I then bring my favorite ideas and songs to the band to help shape and fully form them into what we play live and record. Oddly enough, quarantine-induced isolation has been difficult for my writing. I’m having a lot of self-conflict writing about quarantine-related issues. Yes, loneliness is a pretty widely-effecting condition, but I don't feel much catharsis tapping into that right now. Nevertheless, having the time to write every day is giving me a chance to try new things and develop my style. When we’re all able to collaborate in the same room again, there will be plenty to sift through.
