Toronto’s Blunt Chunks Shares New Single “Wasted”
Toronto-based indie rock project Blunt Chunks, helmed by Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien (of Jaunt) has followed up her self-titled EP with a new single “Wasted”, out now as part of the Fire Talk Records Open Tab series. Collaborating with the likes of Scott Hardware, and members of The Weather Station, Broken Social Scene, and Luna Li for the project, “Wasted” was a fusion of talent that came together in less than a week.
“This was really fun and intense to do. I got together with my producers and a few good friends who are wicked musicians and we put this song together in a few days”, Caitlin shares. “It was different from the way we recorded the EP, which took more or less two years. [Producer] David Plowman pulled not one, but TWO all-nighters because he had to catch a flight and needed to finish the song beforehand. Honestly, the last couple of days recording this song were hectic but I trusted in the process and David’s perfectionism. We had a few revisions and just kind of did the best we could in the minimal time we had. I think it turned out beautifully and also reminiscent of some 90’s songs I love, it’s giving Mazzy Star vibes a little bit.”
Her starry-eyed vocals and subtle country twang give the song its emotional strength, as Caitlin reflects on a past flame with a commanding gentleness.
