Whatever from Somewhere Nowhere by HUNDREDTH

This is the first song we wrote for this album, in Fall of 2018. We knew we wanted to do something different on this album and this song was definitely the catalyst. We knew we wanted to incorporate more synths and slow it down just a bit from our last album RARE. Alex and I wrote this song at my apartment one day when I was living in LA. It definitely felt like a new wave for us immediately. We went and tracked the drums up at Panda and it became the first single for this album. The main riff goes over a count of 3 in the verses and choruses but in the bridge it waits and goes over a count of 4. I think it really makes the bridge settle in and become its own world. It’s the first time we’ve ever just looped the entire song for a transition, like the end of the bridge. Lyrically, the song is pretty self-explanatory. It’s about escapism and just saying “fuck it” for a day. Without this song, I think this album would be much different. It was definitely a confidence builder for us and helped us go deeper into the new sound.
