This sounds like the sound track to a modern pirate adventure.

It's the start

This is really a good one... I like it, it's got a good tempo, pace, the bass pops casually; the vocals don't crack they blend in with the reverb of the guitar. The drums provide the backbeat that keeps you on your feet. This should move you; if you got a pulse!

called life

So you ended up in a high rise, famous with a beautiful woman in an exotic city; so you ended up living paycheque to paycheck, divorced and in your 30's...

that's

This stuff can get so weird; because there is stuff that I work on, all day sometimes, but never seems quite right; but I'll share anyways; because maybe you'll see it differently... I mean it if was total crap it;d never leave my Mac; so that's not the iss, it's just that is it the shit... that is the quest; to make music that's so current, so revelating and for you. I know as soon as that connection is made the sense of global excitement I've been desiring wll come to pass.

uncut

Ah yes. I remember this vividly; being recorded as the fellla's downed schlitz high gravity.

It was something of FU to the overly-sensitivite passive aggressive; types loathed by hunters such as these.

Enjoy the beat, that's real hop; and the guitars... howling and in Broken Englush.


Quite simply, another offering. We love to make music about our daily struggles and we won't stop. Enjoy.

elevator

This was almost the track recorded during the 91209 session at THE BURBS, Alan kept passing out during the recording reviews; having spent the day cutting acres and acres of high spider grass.

The results are pretty consistent,

regal is the second in the dark star demos, recorded and mastered during the labor day 2009 weekend at 1231. They have a lo-fi synth sensibility that sounds very familiar and warm.

I'll quote taenkeboksen's quote from coco -"the best things in life are free, the second best are expensive."

... with all the disconnected, over-loved; still managing to sway while time and youth waste away. At least for another day; and remember this may be all there is.

miss summer (pierced revised)



This mornings I have with you before the gym and before the office are really special; I get to listen, edit, cut, paste, loop,expand,reverb and season, all while sitting in my budweiser shorts.

This is a somber track, true; but it's not a downer. It's growing, it's not so smooth but it's got the promise that the ones following could be (should that be the direction).

pierced

Summer is (nearly) gone.


Here's a sonic jaam; all kick drum and no summer fun. Fuzzy and wuzzy, we have to bear the dissidence.
