So one of the year’s resolutions is to cover a song a month for this whole year. Some will be solo (like this one), but most would be collaborations with musicians in Mumbai and in other cities.
Of course, this list needs to start with Cinder & Smoke, probably the best known of Iron & Wine’s songs. The acoustic guitar track was recorded a *long* time back by me; it was actually the first track I had recorded when I got my Fender acoustic. Over the last few days I have worked on the remaining layers, using mandolin, electric guitars layered over each other, and multilayered vocals too. I know the original song feels less produced and a lot more raw, but I wanted to do something different with it myself.
