Daily electricity to load your batteries

25 February 2024

Artist: ERIC SCHROEDER
Who: “Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and pop-rock polymath from San Diego is
a study in contrast and contradiction. Schroeder’s songs sound like they could be a
half-century old, yet they crackle with anger, heartache, and frayed nerves primed for
our all-consuming contemporary hyperreality, in which all bets are off and we’ll be shocked when we learn what’s already happened.”

“I grew up in an unstable household where I was basically left to my own devices. I learned a lot about people and how cold the world is.” For some, musical obsessions would be an avenue of escape, but not for Schroeder. Rather than slinking into cynicism, he doubled down on vulnerability. His songs became barbaric yawps, his way to make himself heard, in all his hope, heartache, anguish, and dry humor.

New single: STAYED THE SAME
From his upcoming 5th album Turn On The Stereo,
that’ll land on April 26.

Schroeder: “Word salad poetry gobldy-gook. Images. Comforting at times, unsettling at
others. It doesn’t mean much emotionally when I sing it, I just sit back and watch the pictures.”

TUTV: Sonically, this catchy as hell energizer activates your feel-good state of mind on
the spot. Its stimulating swagger, its invigorating euphoniousness, its cocksure vocality
and its gleeful, laid-back chorus with 60s Beach Boys harmonies has a ravishing impact.

Lyrically mixed emotions dominate with his unfortunate past still leading to restlessness
in the present. But it feels strongly that the healing force of music will triumph
again, here too, in the end. An all around rockin’ tune thrill.

ENJOY
