about

D.C Cross’ “Hot-wire the Lay-low (Australian escapist pieces for guitar)” is the new album for Darren Cross (Gerling / Jep and Dep).

The third album/instalment in D.C Cross’ adventure into solo instrumental acoustic guitar, this time bringing wild antipodean fingerpicking and introspective guitar escapism, Cross set out to create an Australian take on the solo guitar genre.

Staying in cheap motels in Regional N.S.W and other reputable establishments as far as Cowra and Molong, Cross concentrated on capturing some vibe-centric ideas inspired by this journey then return home to complete the compositions.

“Covid is still messing everything up for musicians in regards to touring and playing shows but it is a great time for some to hone in on their crafts and compose music. I chose to keep on writing escapist compositions on the guitar… if I like I can go stay in $35 a night motels in Lithgow N.S.W, armed with only a guitar and some free instant coffee, look out the window at the mountains, dreary rain and snow and write music inspired by the moment and environment, tuning in to old histories and vibrations, literally escaping”.

Written in June 2021, Recorded in December 2021 by Tim Kevin (The Apartments, Youth Group) and on three tracks Cross recorded himself, the record was then mastered by Patrick Klem (Daniel Bachman, Steve Gunn, Jack Rose).
