Sean McVerry is an artist and producer based out of Brooklyn, New York. Originally from small-town Middlebury, Connecticut, McVerry grew up enveloped by music, his parents meeting in a musical theatre troupe. McVerry’s range of influences yields a unique listening experience and performance. Combining the song sensibilities of folk with the overdriven-casio drum machine grooves of 80’s electronica, his music holds a transportative quality that takes the listener on a journey. He’s gearing up to release his new EP Private Lives this Spring and we are thrilled to premiere the supremely satisfying new track “Red Light” today on GroundSounds! The track features a groove you can’t help but get lost in. “Red Light” is and indie gem that is sure to turn heads.
In his own words:
“Musically, ‘Red Light’ was originally this slow, dreamy groove I made with a few old keyboards of mine. I kind of swam in it for a while in this studio, reflecting on a few ideas and concepts, eventually coming back to this moment I had riding my bike in Brooklyn. I was riding around my neighborhood and stopped for some traffic, noticing this group of hip looking folks sitting on their steps in what looked like this completely staged scene — down to every outfit, casual-yet-rigid-stance and synchronized-cigarette-drag. Easy to satirize, but then again, something most folks (including me) is guilty of — which is putting on this little show for public perception. I sped the track up to match my perhaps misguided bitter energy, added a few drops of self-deprecation and recorded a bass line that ensured non-stop-head-bobbing.”
