After I lost my studio and all of my gear in Hurricane Sandy I didn&#8217;t feel connected to a guitar sound. The combination of guitar and amp I&#8217;d found my way to over a lifetime was not being easily replaced. But by accident this Winter I put two amps together via different pedals and blended them to something that really excited my ears. Having read that when Kim Deal of the Breeders gets an idea she follows through in the moment and completes it I decided to do the same thing and I put this song together immediately in about 17 hours. Gary Atturio mixed it a few months later and here it is. It&#8217;s about trading teeth with a lion and the fallout with its family over the deal.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike Law of Wild Arrows has been participating in the DIY music scene since his first band\u00a0EULCID\u00a0toured and shared the stage with the likes of\u00a0Fugazi, Cave In,\u00a0and\u00a0Converge\u00a0in his hometown of Boston and around the United States. Moving on quickly he and\u00a0Cave In&#8217;s Stephen Brodskyfounded the more melodic indie rock\u00a0New Idea Society\u00a0and toured the U.S., Europe and Japan from the aughts until Law began his main project Wild Arrows. Living in NYC by this time Wild Arrows&#8217; first record was recorded and immediately lost in a Hurricane but it led to their first record to be released, the gothic leaning, tell everyone. The aptly named Dreamlike Dream followed and would be Law&#8217;s first foray into a more pop-leaning work. The EP Mike Law on the Spiral Stairs was a left turn into Leonard Cohen-lite darkness and the 2022 release of\u00a0\u2018Loving the Void\u2019\u00a0with standout track after track was hailed by luminaries like\u00a0Michael Stipe on R.E.M.&#8217;s socials and the video for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/b5o2sk\/3m9fkn\/jb379q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><em>Reasoning with the Guards<\/em><\/a> was soon followed a by a potentially all too similar SNL performance by Kendrick Lamar.
