Bay Area indie singer-songwriter Jeff Symonds has released “Estate Sale,” the final pre-release single from his upcoming second album Don’t Worry, I Do Alright, due May 18 on ElectraCast Records.
A stomping two-step built around nostalgia and reckoning, “Estate Sale” finds Symonds sifting through the emotional debris of childhood — old guitars, faded magazines, and the ghosts that live in attic boxes.
“It's about going home to help your folks clean out their attic before a big move, and rediscovering the old stuff and memories waiting for you up there,” says Symonds. “I was interested in how the past collides with the present, and how important it is to make peace with it if you want to go forward.”
The track features biting lead guitar from Gawain Matthews, with Symonds handling everything else.
“The song went through a lot of changes, lyrical and musical, before we got it right. I played it on stage a dozen times in different variations before it really locked in.”
Don’t Worry, I Do Alright arrives a month later and promises to be an ambitious, fully realized statement — closing with the sprawling 12½-minute epic “2:17pm (Solano And Masonic)”, featuring four distinct characters and interlocking melodies performed alongside vocalists Susee Witt, Hilary Fonda Webb, and Megan Slankard.
As The Big Takeover puts it, Symonds “tunes the everyday into the profound, the humdrum into the revelatory.”
Jeff Symonds is a Bay Area-based indie singer-songwriter and co-host of the 50 Years Of Music with 50 Year Old White Guys podcast.
ElectraCast Records was founded by powerhouse songwriter/producer Peter Rafelson (over 300 million songs sold) and filmmaker/entertainment marketing executive Mark Netter (WB, Disney, Showtime, Universal), as a division of ElectraCast Media, a podcast production and distribution company.
