Sullen Creek - Caustic Sea (Without FX)

Available on iTunes from late August 2012.

A raw-sounding guitar-only song.
The name for this song is derived from my pseudonym, Sullen Creek. I wanted to find similar (but not synonymous) words for Sullen and Creek that have swapped first letters. So caustic is the alternate word for Sullen and sea is the alternate word for Creek. The title also reflects the tone and structure of the song. It's crude-sounding, and caustic means corrosive, and it follows a pattern of soft verses and heavy choruses, which resembles the tides of a sea.

By the way, if you are wondering why it sounds as raw and exposed as it does, that is because I recorded the entire song in one straight take and it has no additional effects on it.

Although this is a song that I wrote quite a while ago and that I play frequently, I was not sure about producing it, because not much goes on during it and it has never had a set structure. But since it's a song that I always remember while playing guitar, I decided to record it.

Written and produced by Sullen Creek
