recording 2010 part 1

Finally have some time to post something, i put together this video of our recording so far:

First part was all done at Thomas's Parents house while they went to Europe, this was for Thomas's guitars and Robs Drums:

We have spent a lot of time making this album flow from one song to another, but in a totally fucked up hard to actually pull off way. We don't use studios, we don't have money or get money to do this, so it's all trying to see how things work. In the video you see acoustic parts and hear weird noises, these were created for the album and we are trying to record these parts in odd places like in the parking garage stairwell and the woods. We plan to try and continue this as much as possible and hope to have some more updates soon.

Till then, buy our last album: http://sentientrecordings.com/

Then maybe we can release this one sooner!

visitor

After band practice tonight i opened my garage to find this guy trying to get in. I'm glad I didn't step on him by accident cause those things are pretty big and it would leave quite a mess. This is the first time I saw one alive. It scurried away when i pushed it with an aluminum bat.

the swans

I've been into the swans for a bit now, it all started after getting the first sonic youth album (sonic death, not sure it's a first release, but it's live recordings around the beginning of the band and it's way good if you like them). At the end of the Sonic Death album they mentioned 'do you want to hear a sonic youth Swans jam fest?' then the CD ends to my disappointment.

After this we searched, my buddy in music exploration and I. At one point I stumbled onto Soundtracks for the Blind and made anyone within my life listen to it. It's dark, full of halloween prop type sounds and full of interviews with people featuring different ailments in life. The music throughout is completely hypnotic. The atmosphere is dense, brooding and punishing. However, I wouldn't call them metal.

All this from a band's last album, till now. They are releasing a new album, and they even moved the date from September 27th to September 21st out of nowhere.

The album is streaming here:

Whether the public will have an appetite for it is another matter. Genetic engineering is already widely used for crops, but the government until now has not considered allowing the consumption of modified animals. Although the potential benefits — and profits — are huge, many individuals have qualms about manipulating the genetic code of other living creatures.

Part of the two-day hearing will focus on labeling of the fish. It is possible that if the modified salmon is approved, consumers would not even know they were eating it. Current FDA regulations only require modified foods to be labeled as such if the food is substantially different than the conventional version, and the agency has said that the modified salmon is essentially the same as the Atlantic Salmon.

Approval of the salmon would open the door for a variety of other genetically engineered animals, including an environmentally friendly pig that is being developed in Canada or cattle that are resistant to mad cow disease.

I can't wait to start eating genetically altered humans.

press record then delete your mind

We are about to start recording our followup to our first album that only just came out.

I don't want to promise anything because how can an album be more heavy then led zepplin, catchier then the beatles, noisier then sonic youth, more atmospheric then the swans, etc. We only know that we are very happy with our progress as a band and can't wait to hear some of these songs completed, let alone share them with you.

If there is anything worth sharing I'll put it up while we are recording, till then go buy our last album here: http://www.sentientrecordings.com/
or track us down.

This could be one of the last shows of the year, before we record our second album and people have kids and someone dies from a drug overdose or gets a divorce to marry one of their daughters friends and drive a Porsche too fast off the side of a cliff after sipping wine on the beach, so come out and visualize how we will die before 2011.

This means that this terrible driver ran over all these people but was proud and stamped their car showing their happiness at killing people
