His forthcoming studio offering ‘Seven Ways ‘Til Sunday” will be out on January 27, 2023. “I hope the fans get an emotional ride with this album,” he said. “I want each track to activate different emotions for the listeners, and to provoke interests and some goosebumps. It’s not a one-genre record. It has a lot of different flavors and that was by design, and that was the type of music that I listened to. I hope it broadens their horizons a little bit. I want to share that experience with you all.”
On the song selection approach for his new album “Seven Ways ‘Til Sunday,” Augeri said, “When the pandemic hit back in 2020, it really impacted me and I had a whole slew of songs that had never seen the light of day. When your back is against the wall, the creative juices started flowing.”
“I started writing immediately and I started expressing myself in ways that I never did before, and that’s what started the process. The songs on this project span 15 years,” he said.
“I wanted to make the type of record that I would want to buy, and that kind record was made in the late ’60s or early ’70s. I wanted it to be diversified, there are a lot of styles, and there is a thread to keeps them together. I hope that is the case with the listener. With each track, I want them to feel refreshed and a little change of pace. I wanted to try a different menu for every song and I hope that I achieved that,” he added.
He noted that “Drive” was “fluffy, light, and nonsensical.” “It wasn’t so dire and it wasn’t so serious,” he admitted. “This was the last song I worked on and it stuck in my brain. I didn’t take myself very seriously with it.”
For Augeri, the sequencing and running order of the songs on there was of critical importance. “I grew up listening to albums and vinyl from beginning to the end, and I would flip it over from the A Side to the B Side,” he said.
