Ducks Ltd.

Songwriters on Process

Evan Lewis and Tom McGreevy of Ducks Ltd seem to be at opposite ends of the creative spectrum when it comes to organization. Lewis likes chaos: "The process should be a disaster," he says.
McGreevy, on the other hand, needs order. His writing process involves emailing lyrics to himself, editing them, then sending the edited version to himself. Over and over. This allows McGreevy to see the version history of the lyrics in one giant email thread.
The new Ducks Ltd. album Harm's Way is out now on Carpark Records. I'm very proud that not once in this podcast will you hear the term "jangle pop."
