Lords of Apricity

About

Lords Of Apricity is the Wisconsin-based rock and roll project of songwriter and musician David Koenig. Earnest and sincere, together with a clique of collaborators, David assembled a spiritual rock and roll edifice with revealing lyrics and rollicking sounds. The self-titled debut EP deflty reconfigures the classic rock topography with paunchy riffs, consuming melodies, evocative swatches of blues and psychedelia, and progressive-minded songwriting. Lords Of Apricity's modern take on classic rock and roll is based on the intimately familiar foundation of the Rolling Stones, T-Rex, and The Doors, but renovated with a rhythmic sway and the vocal thunderclap of the one and only, Susan Renee Thiede. The songs were composed by David with co-writes from high school friend, former bandmate, and songwriting partner, Vinnie Kircher (JAILL, L'Resorts) as well as former bandmate and songwriting partner, Jered Shaw (Green Mountain Rebels), prior to a scheduled weekend-long recording session at producer/engineer Brian Joseph's (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Paul Simon, Indigo Girls, The Fray) studio outside of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. What began with a defined agenda to record the compiled songs, quickly turned into a spontaneous moment of true discovery. The musicians gathered for this session were pulled from separate corners of the Midwest, many of whom just met the day of recording and none of which have ever played together as a group leading to moments of unknown territories.
