Faris McReynolds, who also makes music as the minimalist avant-garde pop project One Finger Riot, takes a totally different songwriting approach as Exdetectives. McReynolds made the Exdetectives debut album "Take My Everything" in a quick two-week fit of recording and plays all of the instruments on the record himself, save for the drums, which he explains were played by Ted Scarlett (who also mixed the album), because "He nailed the ideas I showed him in fewer takes than I could." -- -- Take My Forever's first single "The Lawn" is a droning wash of guitars and live -- as in not programmed -- synthesizers. "I wanted it to be this mass of sound that stays in place all the way through the song. No dynamics, just this wide swirl of textures," McReynolds says. "It's got loud distorted guitars, yet it manages to come off as mellow. I'm proud of that because guitars can get old really fast." Of the lyrical content of the tune, McReynolds confesses that the song is about "Looking into my own nature, not really liking what I see, and pleading for someone to give me a chance to change.
