Nautical Culture and Pretty Much Anything

Before Nautical Culture, there was Pretty Much Anything. “PMA,” as we called it, was a cover band consisting of Jason Young, Anthony Campolo, Erik Edwards, Joban Aguilar, and myself, Guillermo Garcia Jr.

Vanessa Rosas, now a member of Nautical Culture, had just left for grad school and suggested this track to me. What started as a “for-fun” jam session between Erik and myself, soon became the formation of the cover band, Pretty Much Anything. 

For more sounds, stories, and photos of Nautical Culture, follow us on Instagram, Soundcloud, Facebook, Twitter, and tumblr.

“Only Water” Lyrics

Wait, hey, don’t get emotional

Stay on the plain

You’re okay

It’s only water making you sway

 Fact: We can’t have luck at all, so we want to fall,

And we want to fall

Trapped in cans, and stuck to calls, where we were in awe,

And we were in awe

Can’t we have no love at all, so we’ll never fall,

And we’ll never fall

 Wait, don’t get emotional, stay

It’s only water making you sway

 Scrap the plans, we’ve gone to far, since we lost our star,

We just sit in cars

Cut the strands we used to gnaw, and unclench your jaw

As if you never saw

Can’t we have no love at all, so we’ll never fall,

And we’ll never fall

 Wait, don’t get emotional, stay

It’s only water making you sway

Lyrics by Vanessa Rosas

Nautical Culture’s “Only Water” and NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest

After a weekend of rehearsals and studio takes, the final product for Nautical Culture’s tiny desk contest song entry, “Only Water,” is underway. 

“Only Water” is a musical collaboration between vocalists/composers Vanessa Rosas and Guillermo Garcia Jr.  The song combines easygoing, yet subtly catchy vocal melodies with an odd, yet playfully driven time signature.  

Erik Edwards, Nautical Culture’s friend and drummer, flew in from Lodi, CA to help make the recording. His meticulously skilled drumming and keen sense of improvisation add to the song a relaxed hint of electronic and jazz. 

In addition to playing “Only Water’s” intricately funky bass line, this recording could not have been done without the invaluable sound engineering expertise of Jason Young.  

“Only Water” will be one of the five songs featured on “What Year Is It?,” Nautical Culture’s debut EP. The EP is scheduled to be released later this year. 

Keep checking nauticalculture.tumblr.com for the link to our contest video. The song will be posted by Monday, February 1st.

Just purchased a melodica.

Decided to use it for a tune we enjoy performing on the streets of Downtown Ventura, CA as Gitanos de Agua (an “interproject” of Nautical Culture).

“Hipocresia” 

Originally by Pruvian 70s group Los Pasteles Verdes.
