Q&A with Jeremy Serwer
Q: Hi, Jeremy. Thank you for speaking with me about “Cave Slumber.” I’m a sucker for harmonies, and my favorite part of the song has to be when you sing, “It’s cold here and the dreams…” and the harmonies echo. Beautiful! Could you tell me about the meaning behind the track?
JEREMY SERWER: “Cave Slumber” is a fun approach to coping with global climate issues and ecological collapses. I’m jesting that maybe we can sleep through the devastation and awake unscathed in our man caves.
Q: What were the fun parts of working on “Cave Slumber” and the most difficult parts?
JEREMY: It was fun/rewarding to work with UK producer and Multi-instrumentalist George Shilling. I was a fan of much of his work with ’90s Scottish indie rock bands. Also great to have guest vocalist Jeff Campbell effectively create a duo from his studio in Philly while I’m in SF. You just wait to see what someone will do without really any direction–with Jeff, you’re always happy with his voice and his ideas.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about the track?
JEREMY: I like that it’s a mixture of rock and acoustic, as well as the crazy Synth/organ bridge. I’m really satisfied with the whole effort.
Q: You’ve been making music for YEARS! From the time you started to now, what are some things you learned about yourself as a person and artist?
JEREMY: That you don’t have to stay in a lane with any aspect of music, whether it be genres, instruments, performing live or just being a recording artist. It’s truly unlimited, and it’s best to keep up and not take the ever-changing playing field personally. Get on with your next project and make the most of the experience.
Q: I’m sure you have some influences you look up to. I’d love to know not only who they are.
JEREMY: That changes a lot as I love new music most. Some of the constant influences are Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake–all deceased. Stevie Wonder, The Buzzcocks, Gary Numan, Ty Segal, QOTSA, Trent Reznor, Steven Wilson, Blur, Radiohead, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Neurosis and too many others!!
Q: Why did you want to start sharing your music with the masses?
JEREMY: Ha, I’ve yet to reach the masses, but I know what you mean. That’s hard to remember, but a lot of what I’ve written is Socio-Political in nature, so I’m sure it was always about sharing a message that I thought was not getting enough attention or however. It’s interesting as I’m mostly moving away from that now as that type of lyrical content is fleeting, and now it’s more about the things I love or are fun, like Sci-Fi, Horror, Tragic Characters and or my idols. Oh, and Ravens, Crows, Dogs and Satanism.
Q: What other talents besides music do you have?
JEREMY: I can juggle 6 large Machete’s! Dogs are my friends, and befriending Urban wildlife like Crows, Ravens, Coyotes and roaches.
Q: Do you have any upcoming projects or events you’d like to let others know about?
JEREMY: I’m currently Producing and working on my 9th record, which is a double album with 9 songs on each side. I’m working again with drummer Leor Manelis in Denver, but I will probably handle most of the remaining instrumentation. I’m hoping to leave the US before we become a fascist dictatorship under Trump…
