2023 release. A vital participant in the Los Angeles music scene of that period as bandleader, songwriter, musician and producer, Paul B. Cutler's work-in particular his guitar playing-with The Consumers, 45 Grave, Vox Pop and The Dream Syndicate is still admired by fans and an influence on anyone interested in that period and the styles that developed from it. Enthused about his new material, Cutler continued recorded songs with just his signature electric guitar style and vocals. As this was developing, another vet of the early L.A. scene-Brad Laner of Medicine and Savage Republic-got in touch with Cutler. Soon Laner was mixing, co-producing, playing keyboards as well as adding the rhythm section. The overall process took some time, with songwriting beginning in 2014.
