Sevendust's guitarist Clint Lowery is set to launch an instrumental EP titled Don't Say It on May 24. The first glimpse from the EP comes via the first single, "Dizzy Moments," and its official music video produced by Chuck Brueckmann.
Back in January, Clint announced he was working on an instrumental, and at the time wrote on his social media: "For a while now I've been very interested in film scoring, sound design, and programming. Instead of focusing on another typical release, I thought it'd be cool to write and release a few of these rough pieces I've been cutting my teeth on.
"Most of it is very moody, dark, and cinematic, but still somewhat in traditional song format. It has been very fulfilling to work on not to mention refreshing creatively. I can experiment with sounds, textures, and arrangements I enjoy.”
Inspiration struck Clint while he was immersed in Nine Inch Nails's Ghosts release. This sparked a commitment to write and record daily or at least every other day, pushing him to explore and understand the nuances of the creative process further.
"I got the inspiration while listening to NIN 'Ghosts' release and thought it would be a good exercise to just write and record something every day or at least every other day just to flush things out, learn more about the process.”
Clint's announcement was not just about sharing his upcoming project; it was a personal challenge. "I like to announce these things to stay accountable and I always work better under a deadline pressure, even if its one I put on myself," he said.
"I plan to mix and master this myself (something I’ve never done). So please be open-minded and take it for what it is… sharing musical ideas, the process where I'm currently sitting, and where I want to go. I'm excited to tread on some new ground. Very humbling yet gratifying journey so far." he added.
Don't Say It can be pre-ordered at this location.
