about

This album was recorded a few years ago in the rehearsal space we used to share with the amazing (also now defunct) Ox Scapula. It's a weird combination of songs we used to play live, band jams with some sneaky overdubs and bits of completely fabricated studio wizardry.

We used an awesome old Tascam 688 cassette multi-track (big love to the awesome Andy Robbins for lending this to us) to record the drums and overdubbed most of the other stuff using whatever cheap digital equipment we could get our hands on. Sounds pretty good considering!

This was supposed to be released about 2.5-3 years ago, when we were actually still a going concern. I put it down to; life x procrastination = letting shit slide. Just ask Axl Rose.

Anyway enjoy!
