Matt Sharp (previously of Weezer) and The Rentals are in the final weeks of their ambitious 2009 project,
“Songs About Time.”
The project begun on January 1, 2009 on the band’s website, www.therentals.com, and is made up of a new photo every day from two rolls that Sharp takes that day- one for use on the site, one that will be saved for inclusion in one of 365 special box sets available March 15, 2010. Every week there’s a new short film with original music score. And every three months, a new four-song EP, the latest of which is called The Future.
Though the EPs are available for download now, they are being remixed, mastered and sequenced to make up a 12-song full-length also available in 2010. It’s an incredible project that gives fans direct insight into the band’s creative process and non-fans will enjoy the stunning cinematography, photographs and music throughout.
