It has been awhile since we have heard from Tim Rose, the songwriter in The Sun Sawed in 1/2. In the mid/late 90’s they led the indie power pop scene with their special brand of surreal, ambitious power pop. Rose has returned with his latest and most ambitious project yet: Fresh Mowed Lawn. If you order the album now from this site Not Lame has an incredible offer for you. What is Fresh Mowed Lawn? Fresh Mowed Lawn is the aural equivalent of a duck down quilt, lulling you, enveloping your ears and mind with its luxurious mix of exotic instrumentation, carefully strummed guitars and electric-drizzled ambience. Click play to listen to Tim Rose describing how this unique project came about; it’s an awesome and unusual story!
Recorded in 2004 in Vienna, Austria, FML incorporates the familiar power-pop sound of The Sun Sawed in 1/2 with both jazz and classical touches. Rose wanted to use musicians who had no rock ’n roll background, let alone any understanding of power pop. The idea was to create a new hybrid that would elimate the cliches of the genre. What it is, is something unique and that pushes the boundaries of accepted pop conventions.Click here to read some quotes from Tim Rose about this project. Not Lame is commited to finding new ways to bring more music into your life.
