Been workin on basic arrangements for some of the newest songs. I made these tracks in an effort to get some live shows going with the drummer who recorded on the new ep. Rehearsal time is pretty limited, so basically the way we’re approaching it is similar to how we did the ep, i.e. fleshing out pre-arrangements on the laptop and working off that. So that’s what these tracks are. Take a listen and preview what we’ll be playin live (hopefully/eventually).

Vocoder Vas Va Vogue Playlist

I saw the band Black Moth Super Rainbow the last week in portland, and I’ve been on a vocoder kick ever since. If you don’t know, vocoder is that synth effect that makes vocals sound like a robot (not to be confused with Autotune which merely shifts the pitch). Black Moth features it on almost every song, and I’ve been kinda obsessed lately. Hence the new playlist. Enjoy!

Here’s some early comps for the album art that we started out with that we didn’t use. I like them a lot but didn’t think they went with the feel of the album musically. Art was done by Ryan Berg at Design And Demand. Even though they didn’t work out, it’s great stuff!
