Low Cut High Tops is the brainchild of 23 year-old Seattle-based musician/art school dropout David Burns.
Instead of writing from experience, David’s lyrics are about things that he wishes he would have done. He hates being compared to other bands. He likes taking photos of naked women, cinematography, and writing orchestral scores. He does everything himself – writing, recording, producing, mixing, even making his own music videos – out of his bedroom.
Before this project, he’d never made music outside of the computer. That was actually the whole idea – to create from a place of ignorance.
“I wanted to do something musically with a genre I don’t listen to and know very little about,” he explains. “I’ve never sung before, played guitar, or really recorded any organic instruments. I wanna show people that one person with an unusual voice can make a great rock record all by himself.”
The result is Eh, Whatever out January 22nd via self-release. The 10-track collection of swaggering electronic-infused punk rock features lead single “Red Lipstick” out tomorrow via all DSPs.
