10 Years is set to change the way fans view some of their most popular songs.
The group will release Deconstructed, an album which will feature alternate takes on 19 of the band’s biggest hits throughout their 20+ year career. 10 Years announced the album on Facebook yesterday (Feb. 10), and accompanied the announcement by releasing alternate tracks of “Wasteland”, and “The Unknown”
Guitarist Brian Vodinh spoke on what led to Deconstructed becoming a reality.
“The idea for Deconstructed started out as just an acoustic performance, myself and Matt with acoustic guitars, and nothing beyond that in terms of instrumentation. Then, as I was working on adapting some of the songs to an acoustic environment, I started getting these thoughts, like, ‘What if this was played on a piano instead?!’ Then once we opened the door to further instrumentation things spiraled out of control quickly, and it became one of the most challenging, yet most gratifying projects we have taken on. Deconstructed allows the listener to discover this list of songs all over again, in a new way.”
“The Deconstructed versions of these songs really hit me in an emotional way. It felt different to sing over the orchestrations that Brian and Matt had created for these. It felt really intimate, and like they had really carved a path for where my voice was to sit on those arrangements. I hope people can listen to these versions and find the spirit in them that we were trying to convey.”
Deconstructed will be released digitally on March 4th, 2022. The album is available for pre-save now.
