Chewing is the solo moniker for Los Angeles musician and visual artist, Nik Ewing, who is best known for his critically acclaimed band Local Natives. ‘Songs For Linnéa’ is the second album by Chewing, a collection of minimal piano songs written for his first child.
“When my first child was born, I played piano for her almost daily. This album is for her, to have a physical document of the music from the beginning of her life.”
‘Songs For Linnéa’ follows up Chewing’s 2019 debut album ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’: a dark, liberal cover of Dennis Wilson's 1977 album in its entirety, featuring Cults, Nico Segal, POP ETC, and of course his entire band Local Natives contributing their signature west coast harmonies. The album was originally released exclusively on vinyl via Turntable Kitchen, while receiving a full digital release in 2020.
Written, mixed & performed by Nik Ewing.
Except “She Loves You” written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney & “First Melody” written by Linnéa & Nik Ewing.
Recorded & engineered by Chris Sorem at The Nest in Los Angeles, Calif. on March 25 & October 26, 2023.
Mastered by Dave Harrington.
