Lead singer Corey Laitman reckons with the demise of past relationships on the Western Massachusetts band's new album, 'i know i know i know.'
Cloudbelly singer-songwriter Corey Laitman plays guitar with the group at the Shea Theater Arts Center in Turners Falls, Mass.
“So many of the songs I've written have been about romantic relationships, and there was something in the breakup of those romantic relationships that I could kind of dramatize,” Laitman said one afternoon, sitting between their two bandmates in the dressing room of the Shea Theater Arts Center in Turners Falls. “But I couldn’t do that with this friendship. It was just pure, unmitigated pain. It was just pain. And that was the first time that was really true for me.
Here’s how Laitman tells the next part of the story: One day, they went to Mill River Music in Northampton, in search of a harmonizer pedal to help them build a more expansive sound. Someone working at the shop suggested they talk to their “pedal guy.” That turned out to be Sam Perry, a guitarist who happened to live on the same block in Turners Falls as Laitman. The next week, they got together to play.“The musical synergy was pretty much there immediately,” Perry said.
“I also, at this time, was doing a lot of work in pop and R&B,” Mondschein said. “So pretty immediately I started sneaking in some vocal samples and stuff like that into the background.” Sutherland’s string parts informed the arrangements for Laitman’s multitudinous backing vocals. “Exploding out the vocals and seeing where we could take those felt kind of essential to the sound we ended up with,” Mondschein said.
