Peanut Butter Lovesicle Frontman Timmy Miller Continues to Piece Together The 303 Construct with Acoustic-driven "Missing Pieces" & Reggae-indebted "Thinkin' Bout It" (self-released)



"'Missing Pieces" is more of an interlude type track. I had the acoustic guitar part for about a year and I came up with the backing vocals around the same time, but nothing creatively really came to me after that. A couple months ago, I re-visited the track and since recording it, a keyboard came into my life, so I decided to try some different sounds overtop of what already existed. The second half of the song has a heavier Electronic beat with the same first verse vocal and I really like the switch up from acoustic to heavier Electronic—it's very interesting to me and although it's a short one, I like what it does from beginning to end."

- Timmy Miller on Friday's "Missing Pieces"

Ocean City, New Jersey native, Timmy Miller, who has since re-located to Denver, Colorado and started working for the National Park Service, released two more tracks from his forthcoming solo debut, The 303 Construct this past NEW MUSIC FRIDAY; "Missing Pieces" and "Thinkin' Bout It" are actually the third and fourth tracks from what's shaping up to be quite an eclectic mix of Reggae, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, and guitar-accented Rock. "'Thinkin' Bout It," for me, is a favorite style-wise, but definitely one of my biggest strays out of my comfort zone. I love Reggae and always wanted to record a Reggae-style tune but this track definitely takes more of an R&B/Hip-Hop feel with the straight beat hi-hat, as opposed to some syncopated Reggae rhythm you would hear on any of the classic Roots Reggae bands like Culture or [Toots & The Maytals]," Miller fittingly described Friday's fourth released track. "This song was conjured up starting with the bassline and I immediately knew I wanted it to carry a sexy vibe, the bassline reminded me of some [Ginuwine] 90's R&B song... but I have no idea which one. The more I played around with the vocal ideas, it became very apparent to me that the vocal also needed more of a sexy storyline approach to it and also that a Dub-style delay was going to be needed in parts. I really wanted it to take on some Sublime-esque moments," Peanut Butter Lovesicle's frontman continued. It's currently unclear exactly when (or if) The 303 Construct will be released in complete full-length form, but for the time being, it appears as though Timmy Miller intends to unleash a track or two each Friday afternoon; so, with that said, stay tuned to this space in the coming weeks, as it'll be interesting to see and hear how this all unfolds!

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra
