Putting on Airs (4-Track Demos) by Erin Rae There’s something invasive about hearing song demos. It gives a contextual look at the minimal scaffolding of a particular song but it also provides a stripped down, bare bones, version that often emphasizes the emotion of a song better than the final version.
