Americana Highways presents this premiere of Will Rainier’s song “To Supreme” from his forthcoming album Wobble in the Moon. The album is due to be released on June 30th via Basement Tape Records. All songs were written, produced, and recorded in Seattle, Washington by Will Rainier with additional recording by Raymond Richards, Kevin Suggs, and Chad Yenney. It was mixed by Raymond Richards and mastered by Rachel Field at Resonant Mastering.
“To Supreme” is Will Rainier on drums, bass, guitars, vocals, piano, organ, trumpet, percussion, and synth; and Raymond Richards on pedal steel. Pedal steel and synth add a dreamscape quality to this pensive song … placing the listener in a context of sitting in dark corners and watching the scene, and it feels like there’s a dark underbelly even when the scene in its video is beautiful cherry blossoms and ocean beaches. A metaphor for people watching in your favorite dive bar. “We move through the night / Looking for something looking for someone / Who will make it all right.”
I’ve always found solace in dark dive bars. This song is named after a bar near my house. I remember a friend saying “let’s go to Supreme” and that phrase “to Supreme” was just stuck in my head after that. — Will Rainier
