BOOZYCANE ist ein brandneues Nebenprojekt von Andrew Cane.
Der erste Track ist ein Instrumental namens 'It Happened Tomorrow' und wird am 17. Dezember 2021 auf Bandcamp veröffentlicht, wo er als HiRes-Datei heruntergeladen werden kann und ist ab 28. Januar 2022 in den gängigen Standard-Bitrates auf allen Streaming-Diensten weltweit verfügbar.
'It Happened Tomorrow" ist ein jazziges Instrumental, das ohne sich wiederholende Abschnitte von A nach B schwebt. Eine sanfte E-Gitarrenreise durch wechselnde Tonarten, unterstützt von Tom'Bo' Ott am Schlagzeug und subtil untermauert von atmosphärischen Streicherklängen. Eine tolle Ergänzung für Playlists mit Chill-Faktor.
Manch einer mag sich fragen, warum die Veröffentlichung im Jazz-Genre angesiedelt ist, Boozycane kommentiert:
"Für einen Musiker wie mich, der die meiste Zeit seines Lebens in der Rock- und Punkszene gespielt hat, ist es irgendwie seltsam, einen Song mit dem Label Jazz zu veröffentlichen. Aber für 'It Happened Tomorrow' gab es keine andere Wahl, die dem, was es ist, nahe genug kam. Es ist ein 4/4-Takt und ich habe sogenannte Jazz-Harmonien verwendet, das war's. Das Stück folgt nicht den üblichen Regeln, wie Strophe, Refrain und so weiter, und es ist nicht gerade das, was ich als Jazz bezeichnen würde und womit die meisten Leute es wahrscheinlich nicht in Verbindung bringen würden. Ich würde es unter dem Hauptgenre der Gitarrenmusik einordnen. Es ist eine kleine Gitarrenreise."
"Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen: Vor einiger Zeit habe ich angefangen, darüber nachzudenken, Musik zu veröffentlichen, egal in welchem Stil oder Genre. Da ich ursprünglich ein Gitarrist bin, wollte ich zu meinen Wurzeln zurückkehren und mich ausschließlich auf das Komponieren der Musik konzentrieren, anstatt auch Texte zu schreiben und zu singen.
Ich wollte einen einfachen, ungezwungenen Ansatz für dieses Stück Musik wählen und es in jede Richtung gehen lassen, die es will."
Die Idee zu 'It Happened Tomorrow' kam Boozycane während eines Urlaubs auf Ibiza und wurde auf einer billigen Akustikgitarre geschrieben, die ihm sein Vermieter geliehen hatte. Zuerst wollte er es als reine Gitarren-Unplugged-Version veröffentlichen, aber dann traf er einen alten Freund und Bandmitglied, der in einer früheren Band von ihm Schlagzeuger war. TomBo war gerne bereit, das Schlagzeug für das Instrumentalstück zu übernehmen, was nicht so einfach war, wie es unter normalen Umständen der Fall gewesen wäre. Die Gitarre wurde von Boozycane in seinem Studio aufgenommen, wobei der Klick nur als vage Vorgabe diente, nicht so streng wie bei den meisten Produktionen heutzutage, wo alles zu Tode quantisiert wird. TomBo, der seine Schlagzeugspuren in seinem eigenen Studio aufnahm, musste sich also wirklich in den 'Flow` einfühlen.
Wie Boozycane sagte: "Bei diesem Projekt möchte ich mich nicht auf ein Genre beschränken. Ich habe zu viele verschiedene Ideen ungenutzt auf meinen Festplatten geparkt, um mich auf stereotypes Denken zu beschränken. Das Leben ist zu kurz, um es mit Einschränkungen bei den Genres zu verschwenden. Und - ich habe keine Superstar-Helden-Ambitionen mit diesem Projekt."
BOOZYCANE is a brand new side project from Andrew Cane.
The first track is an instrumental called 'It Happened Tomorrow' and will be released on Bandcamp on December 17, 2021, where it can be downloaded as a HiRes file and will be available in standard bitrates on all streaming services worldwide in January 28 2022.
'It Happened Tomorrow' is a jazzy instrumental that floats from A to B without repetitive sections. A gentle electric guitar journey through changing keys, supported by Tom’Bo’ Ott on drums and subtly underpinned by atmospheric string sounds. A great addition to playlists with a chill factor.
Some may wonder why the release is in the jazz genre, Boozycane comments:
"For a musician like me, who has played in the rock and punk scene most of his life, it's kind of weird to release a song labelled Jazz. But for 'It Happened Tomorrow,' there was no other choice close enough to what it is. It's a 4/4 time signature and I used so-called jazz harmony, that's it. The piece doesn't follow the usual rules, like verse, chorus and so on, and it's not exactly what I would call jazz and what most people probably wouldn't associate it with. I would put it under the main genre of guitar music. It's a little guitar journey."
"To cut to the chase, some time ago I started thinking about releasing music, whatever style or genre. Since I'm originally a guitarist, I wanted to go back to my roots and focus solely on composing the music instead of also writing lyrics and singing.
I wanted to take a simple, casual approach to this piece of music and let it go in any direction it wants."
The idea for 'It Happened Tomorrow' came to Boozycane when he was on vacation in Ibiza and was written on a cheap acoustic guitar lent to him by his landlord. At first he was going to release it as a guitar-only unplugged version, but then he ran into an old friend and band member who was a drummer in a previous band of his. TomBo was happy to take over the drums for the instrumental, which was not as easy as it would have been under normal circumstances. The guitar was recorded by Boozycane in his studio, with the click only serving as a vague guideline, not as strict as most productions these days where everything is quantized to death. So TomBo really had to adapt.
As Boozycane said, “In this project I don't want to limit myself to one genre. I have too many different ideas parked unused on my hard drives to limit myself to stereotypical thinking. Life is too short to waste it with restrictions on genres. And I have no superstar hero ambitions with this project."

Andrew Cane will release his brand new single 'RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN‘ on 2021-04-30
With this new release Andrew Cane returned to his guitar driven sound he is normally associated with. The new music arrives 4 months after his single 'All I Wanted is to Have Sex with You' where all music was programmed and not even one single guitar tone was featured at all.
‘RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN‘ is back to playing real string instruments and with real drumming. No keyboards or programming is involved. Even parts that sounds that like strings, are played by E-Bow guitar and and put through the mangle with plugins to alter the sound. In principle, the opposite approach was taken here, as is usually the case when music producers try to simulate real guitar sounds with plugins.
The theme of 'RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN' is the up and down of a musician who is overrun by sudden success and goes off the rails. Drugs and false friends make him lonely in the glittering world of rock business and he eventually sets out to leave all that behind. The classic story of a winner who becomes a loser and tries to find himself again. 'RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN' combines yearning mood and interesting chord changes with guitar sounds, without falling into the cliché of a classic rock ballad.
Asked what Andrew misses about his production:
" Budget, budget, budget ... I would like to make a video where the starring role of the young musician is played by the long-haired Jason Butler from his time in "The Shannara Chronicles" and the used-up musician is performed by a long-haired Jonny Depp from the present time. For the women around him, I could imagine three gals from the series 'TWO BROKE GIRLS'. Kat Dennings as a rival to Beth Behrs, who is his girlfriend at the time of his rise and then when everything goes down the drain, is portrayed by Jennifer Coolidge. But Hollywood didn't answer yet, he added wit a smile in his face."
While Andrew is dreaming about budget and wonderful actors and actresses a lyric video will be released alongside.
But dreams can come true -or can go down the drain.
Let's wait and see and let's keep thumbs up!
