In this episode, I converse with Dutch Huff. Together with his brother TJ, they make up the band The Facebreaker. Their eponymous first album was released in 2012, and features eclectic instrumentations and arrangements, styles ranging from metal to electronica to world music to surf, and guest performances by many of their musician friends. The album has a cinematic approach with vivid imagery in both the lyrics and the music. In their own words, “this first album is drawn from the high and lonesome sounds of folks eating dinner, organizing their garages, harvesting wheat, celebrating birthdays, and swimming.” The album also features a set of variations on a theme titled It Just Do/It Just Don’t placed every other track. On this episode of Sound Decisions, we sat down and analyzed the complete set of nine variations.
