Grizzly Feeder, which was created beneath the midnight sun, returns with their brand-new hit, "God Size," which is a tad more pop than their previous tracks; think Lana del Rey meets Deftones. You are engrossed in "God Size" by its gloomy, potent melodies and forceful, thunderous, love-filled female voices. This song epitomises modern rock music with its frightening riffs, catchy choruses, and alluring bass hooks.
We sat down with Grizzly Feeder to discuss her music and much more. Here is what she had to say:
Hey Grizzly Feeder, welcome to FLEX! How are you?
If I was doing any better, I couldn’t stand it. As for the music, it’s been fun launching this project from nothing. Particularly watching the music videos for “Diesel” and “God Size” gain traction. Both are like mini epic films about journeys at the end of the world. I’m just so proud of all the actors and crew who dedicated their time and talent to making those stories come alive.
Congratulations on your brand-new song 'God Size' - what inspired this particular track?
To fall in love is to journey into the landscape of someone else’s heart, often a beautiful yet terrifying foreign land. GOD SIZE cries from the perspective of that new world, as it seduces its conquistador, leads him into its heart, destroys him, and at last cradles him as he is reborn into it.
And do you have to be in a certain mood to write?
Great question! Unfortunately, if you wait for the right mood, you’ll almost never write. Most of the real writers I know have to force themselves to sit down for an allotted time, stab themselves in the heart, and hope something interesting bleeds out onto the blank page or screen. Sometimes the muse is on your shoulder. Often you sit there distracted or pulling your hair out for two hours, but always, something good, no matter how small, manifests itself if I give it time. I just have to try. Have to put the time in. Of course, mood and inspiration will strike at all sorts of other times, in the car, in my dreams, after a six-pack, during meditation, whenever, and I need to write or record it into my phone immediately. That’s the fun part. But that’s 1% of the work. Actually producing a finished product from that initial spark, is usually a long, arduous journey.
How was the recording and writing process?
Recording the first few tracks in a professional studio went smoothly, but when it was done they just weren’t anywhere near where I wanted them. I then basically learned how to become a sound engineer myself, built a little studio, and redid them. I used what I could from the initial recordings, but had to retract and even re-write a lot. I worked with and learned from mixers, engineers and musicians who were a lot more experienced than me until I couldn’t find a way to inject any more intensity into these songs. Then I threw in the towel and released the album.
For viewers who don't know Grizzly Feeder, how would you describe your sound?
Lana del Rey meets The Deftones.
And what are some of those activities that you engage yourself in when you aren't writing or recording in the studio?
Playing with alligators and building houseboats on my bayou in Louisiana, learning to build adobe homes in the Mojave desert, building breakwaters in Nicaragua, working on my gold claims in the Yukon, running hills with my pit bulls in LA, and spending way too much time snuggling with them, telling them how loved they are. And lots of meditation.
