He's Your Guy-Peter Muller

He's Your Guy by HaroldandtheGauchos



This song was a lot of fun to make. It features Whitney Killian on vocals and more of my guitar playing both on the verse and the solo at the end. I bought a compressor mic a few days before recording Whitney and it was cool to hear the better quality from that investment.

Wake Up- Peter Muller

Wake Up by HaroldandtheGauchos

When I wrote this song I was really into Kanye's new album/film "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." I really feel "Runaway," and I think the vibe on that song influenced some of the feeling on my record. This is a first in terms of mixing my acoustic guitar playing with rap vocals.

Dear Prudence-Peter Muller

Dear Prudence by HaroldandtheGauchos

While working with Whitney on "He's Your Guy," I thought it was be cool to look at one of my favorite Beatles songs. We tried to keep it pretty mininal, and Whitney brought some flavor with the harmonies.

Beam Me Up and Beam Me Out - David Boman

Beam Me Up and Beam Me Out (NEW) by David Boman

If you compare the style of this song to the style of Killing Giants you'll be able to tell that I am definitely still experimenting with my sound. I had a hard time publishing this one because I kept wanting to tweak it more and more... but finally, with pressure from Peter, I got myself to post it. I'd love to hear your feedback so sign up for the blog and tell me what you think!?!?!
