Frozen Drops of Fire

from Room With A VU, Vol. 1 by Speedfossil

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Room With A VU, Vol. 1, is the first in a series of EPs that will feature songs all recorded in the same studio with the same engineer/producer. Available on limited edition Compact Disc. The concept was to present the songs to the band, work quickly to put them together and get demos to the producer/engineer-then record them all in a short period in one specific studio. Vol. 2 is slated for sometime in the Fall of 2024 (and the complete sessions, Vol 1.and Vol. 2 to be released on a vinyl LP in late 2024). Over 5 separate days in 2023, Garret worked with David Minehan (The Neighborhoods, The Replacements, Dink Pinkerman) at his Woolly Mammoth studio to record and mix the 5 songs. Originally slated to be released in September 2023 on Boston’s Red on Red Records, plans tragically changed in June 2023 when label founder, Justine Covault, died suddenly at the age of 59. Garret was devastated to lose a friend, colleague, mentor and a musical home. After entertaining a couple of offers from other labels, Garret decided to release Room With A VU, Vol. 1 on the new Sonic Escort imprint, a full length label collective out of Boston. Whether its upbeat rockers like, “Sweetheart”, featuring a guest vocal appearance from Linda Bean Pardee of The Chelsea Curve, the throwback Roy Orbison-esque “Frozen Drops of Fire”, or the horn laden “irl”, the EP really showcases Garret’s songwriting chops, as well as the production prowess and sonic power of Minehan and his Woolly Mammoth studio. As one astute listener stated, “this EP is definitely next level!”. Speedfossil will once again be supporting Room With A VU, Vol. 1, with shows throughout the Northeast for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.

about

On the beach for just a moment, then gone in the waves....

lyrics

“Frozen Drops of Fire”
She’s got frozen drops of fire, hanging around her neck
And her voice is like a lyre, turn around, double back.
When she looks at me, I shiver, as she blows another kiss.
But the flames are all around me, it not’s supposed to be like…

This is what she said, when I looked in her eyes. This is what she said to me:

Chorus:
“Tell me your secrets, ‘cause I’ll keep them safe. You can tell everything to me”
Now she’s left, and there’s nothing left to tell. She took it all away from me.
