Interview by Kris Peters
Musical growth and progression is something that can only come from within.
Sure, you can have your influences and guidance from others, but at the end of the day that personable nature of music is inherent best when served from your own sonic palate.
Emerging Australian artist prchr. (percher) has done just that with his latest double release Ghost/Chicago, embracing the heavier side of his nature as well as sharing more of himself with the tracks.
prchr. joined HEAVY to discuss more, starting with the decision to release two songs at the same time.
"Just to try something new," he shrugged. "I've always been doing these singles by themselves and then it all leads up to a bigger release. I just thought I would try something different for once."
With Ghost the focus track of the two released we ask prchr. to give us more insight into the song.
"I wanted to have it as an introduction track to who I am as an artist and person," he measured. "Just to express how I feel and how I feel about what people think about me in that sense. I just made it super heavy (laughs)."
In the full interview, prchr. talks more about Ghost lyrically and musically, the heavier nature of the track, revealing more of himself through his music, if it was more difficult writing about something personal, the song Chicago and what it is about, upcoming new music, planned shows and more.
