notes
"Nude" is the fourth of five cds released in 2002. This indie rock cd has a cool laid back vibe with a variety of acoustic, electric and experimental sounding songs that continue in the Sleeping Dogs Lie tradition of unique and tasty chord arrangements and wide ranging lyrical subject matter. Nude is the introspective Sleeping Dogs Lie CD.
Sleeping Dogs Lie is a loose collaboration of musicians that is headed up by me, songwriter Eric Guenette. SDL came to be in 1995 with a Tascam 4-track in my apartment in West Palm Beach, Florida. I had a Thomas organ, two guitars, bass, drum machine (Dr. Uma Chine in the credits) and a $19.95 Radioshack Realistic microphone with the idea of writing music that was purely a cure for my own boredom. Oh, by the way, I'm Eric... the guy behind the noise.
I wrote and recorded everyday for a year and half straight... As I wrote and recorded more songs, the whole thing was becoming more interesting as I stumbled through the creative song writing process ... I wasn't sure where I was going with it or if I could even call myself a real songwriter... Even to this day, for some reason, I don't look at myself as a songwriter... just some guy that's making organized noise? Anyways, There are more and more people out there that seem to really enjoy whatever it is I am doing. So, why stop now? Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked with a variety of musicians to come up with an even more diverse and eclectic collection of songs...
The music is essentially rock, but there’s a lot of experimentation and unique chord arrangements combined with offbeat subject matter in the lyrics that makes Sleeping Dogs Lie what it is.
The NUDE CD cover art is a true story that I painted. A friend of mine was walking on Jupiter Beach in Florida in the late afternoon with her mother-in-law. She suddenly decided that she had to use the restroom... she scurried over to the public bathroom only to discover that it was locked. So, without missing a beat she walked over to the pristeen white beach sand on Jupiter beach and proceeded to pull down her pants and underwear and dropped one on Jupiter's public beach.
No one was around at the time, but my friend, who shall remain nameless was wrought with fear as she looked around for possible onlookers and proclaimed that "we're going to be arrested!" Well, mother-in-law finished her business quickly and without missing a beat continued her leisurely stroll and started the next conversation... (what bothers me is that she didn't bury her droppings like a cat). So needless to say, it was worthy of an CD cover... Nude has a bit of a Lou Reed vocal feel, Beck oddity, Nirvana musicality, Brian Eno silence, David Bowie separation, Primus lyricalness with a Violent Femmes feel? Listen to a few songs and decide for yourself... enjoy... and for God sakes, watch where you step.
