Other Lives releases special demo album 'Sheerar Sessions'

American indie-rock outfit Other Lives deliver their brand new demos album, 'Sheerar Sessions' – out now via Play It Again Sam. The album features demo versions of tracks from their latest album Volume V which came out in October last year.

Other Lives’ frontman Jesse Tabish provided some background in discussing the new demos record: “The Sheerar is one of the first churches built in Stillwater Oklahoma... my grandmother had taken me to a Beethoven concert there when I was a kid and that memory had not left me when we decided to come back to our hometown and record Volume V. The gracious folks of the Sheerar let us use it as our studio! The kindness of our fellow Okies. Here’s the first musings of the tracks. Hope you enjoy.”

Earlier this year, the band released a documentary detailing the making of their fifth studio album, 'Volume V'. They reflect on the early years of Other Lives, their decision to return to their hometown of Stillwater to record the new album, and the creative process. You can check out the documentary here.

'Volume V' signifies the latest chapter in the ongoing story of Other Lives, their fifth record of magnificent musical and emotional depth. The very first notes of opening track ‘Mystic’ show that the cinematic breadth of their arrangements and melodies have risen several dynamic notches, with a fuller orchestrated reach and more towering drama across the album’s eight songs and two instrumentals – evidence of the band’s hunger to keep progressing while retaining the essence of what makes Other Lives so unique and irresistible.
