Night of Arrows is a band of one. Singer and songwriter David Kaczynski writes the lyrics and melodies and plays all the instruments — electric and acoustic guitars, bass and drums — on his self-produced albums.
His home studio in Jeffersonville acts as a kind of therapist's couch: A safe space to pour out pain, sadness and loss and give words and sound to difficult emotions through his raw, spare music.
"Got the pieces to the puzzle, then I glued my hands together." - from Night of Arrows
Recently, I sat down with Kaczynski in VPR's Colchester studios to talk about how insomnia can affect the creative process, how he uses today's technology to write, record and release full albums from home and how he hopes his songs resonate with others and can help those dealing with similar feelings.
