Along with being a member of the great Chicago indie rockers Dehd, Jason Balla has had a solo project for a few years now called Accessory, through which he's shared one-off singles like "Wherever You Are Tonight" and last year's "Chain Link." Today, at last, Balla has announced the debut Accessory LP: Dust is out in April, and its lead single "Calcium" is out now.
Balla wrote a lot of Dust on a piano he received from his late mother (after it was in storage for a few years) and he recorded the majority of the album at his home studio. "Calcium" is sounding nice in a snowed-in New York right now, and here's what Balla has to say about it in a press release:
This song is about living while the world burns. I wrote it in a period of real hopelessness amidst all the suffering and hate that’s been the backdrop of the news lately. A lot of the song is just me trying to wrestle the events of the day into some kind of order, something to make sense of the debris.
