The title alludes to that tension, and also to Greenwich Mean Time, the standard time zone for the globe, as the singer declares that no matter where she runs, she will be setting her clocks to one specific place and person forever.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The single is available on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/f03dxe\/3m9fkn\/jbftik\">all streaming platforms<\/a>&nbsp;now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Green (Mean Time)<\/em> follows a series of track releases from Corvair&#8217;s forthcoming release. Singles&nbsp;<em>Sailor Down<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Sunday Runner<\/em> are available to stream now at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/f03dxe\/3m9fkn\/z3ftik\">Bandcamp<\/a> and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/f03dxe\/3m9fkn\/fwgtik\">Spotify.<\/a>&nbsp;Corvair is the husband \/ wife of Brian Naubert and Heather Larimer, who are seasoned musicians having performed in bands such as&nbsp;Eux Autres,&nbsp;Ruston Mire&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Service Providers<strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;Naubert and Larimer\u2019s decades of separate music making have finally combined, culminating in this tour de force from two formidable songwriters. Corvair sounds like nothing you\u2019ve ever heard and everything you\u2019ve always loved.&nbsp;The duo&#8217;s debut album charts a starcrossed love story over three decades, five cities, and six continents. Spanning from atmospheric pop to jangly confessional, 70s AM to 90s FM, this work is laden with stunning lyrics and prodigious melodies, two voices leaping to meet in the ether. The album was largely created during the COVID pandemic shutdown of Spring 2020. It includes work with drummer<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Eric Eagle (Jesse Sykes, Wayne Horvitz)and engineer&nbsp;Martin Feveyear (Brandi Carlile, Mark Lanegan, Mudhoney), who also mixed the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Larimer explains, <em>\u201cBeing stuck in a house together with very little outside influence made us more emotionally raw, definitely weirder, and also more patient and intricate in developing the songs. And because we were in a bubble, cooking dinners from paranoidly-disinfected groceries and listening to old records, really disparate references from some of our favorite music ended up colliding in odd ways&#8211;an emotional&nbsp;Judas Priest&nbsp;bridge, an anthemic&nbsp;Pixies&nbsp;outro, a spacey keyboard sound from&nbsp;Steve Miller, Jeff Lynne&#8217;s&nbsp;acoustic guitar tone, a&nbsp;Carpenters-style&nbsp;lush harmony. I think it&#8217;s a wonderfully weird record, but also very in-your-face pop because what else are you going to do when the world feels like it&#8217;s ending?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separately, Naubert and Larimer have created or appeared on more than 20 records. Heather\u2019s musical mainstay was the garage pop band&nbsp;Eux Autres,&nbsp;broadly hailed as a \u201cveritable cult classic\u201d band, radio-debuted by the legendary&nbsp;John Peel<strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;and featured in many shows, movies and commercials. Brian is a longtime fixture of the Northwest rock community, having played in vital bands such as<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Tube Top, Pop Sickle, and the critically-lauded&nbsp;Ruston Mire&nbsp;since 1993. More recently, Brian released his first solo record,&nbsp;Hoffabus&nbsp;and a record with the&nbsp;Pacific NW Supergroup, The Service Providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20210112\/93\/d4\/57\/9f\/1829f3b103e426f0de12e478_600x600.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Corvair cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Corvair\u2019 track listing<br><\/strong><br>1.
