The Furious Seasons Bring Indie Folk to a New Level with “Every Morning At Five”
The Furious Seasons are an acoustic trio with stories to tell. Living inside these songs are tales of persons in desperate situations, chronicles of life in 21st century Los Angeles, and stories of quietly heroic individuals, often told with a nod towards the inexorable passage of time. Acclaimed songwriter, singer and guitarist David Steinhart fashions songs that lyrically live on the hopeful side of melancholy, with an approach to songwriting by turns stark and ethereal, and perfect for an acoustic treatment.

These songs reveal new depth with each repeated listen. Veteran Los Angeles songwriter David Steinhart has distilled decades of songwriting on nearly 30 album releases, and with his brother Jeff has toured the U.S. and Europe in the ’90s and ’00s in bands Smart Brown Handbag and Pop Art.

It was fun recreating the various synth parts note by note, a very different process than how I originally recorded the piece back in the 80s.”
