Thanks! We're not as big as a press release makes us sound. We're trying really hard to get the word out there right now and I'm stoked any time we get publicity like this.
My dad's an amazing musician and he also plays on our song "Prisoner of Mind," the second electric guitar solo and also all the mandolin!
shane, the cd came out awesome. i bought it today and i am super stoked on it. i wish you guys the best . i would love to be on the west coast right about now to try out for that empty drummer position. oh well, im sure it wont be empty long. by the way, is that your old man on the intro to china grove? that riff kicks so much ass . good luck man.
Damn man, that stuff is KILLER!!!
The guitarsound is awesome (and the rest of the production too)!
Therefore I'd like to hear if there's any chance you'd upload a completely dry guitarclip - I'm on my third year with mics on cabinets and I'm not even halfway there - a short clip would make my day! Just a 10 sec clip or something would be extremely cool!
Did you boost the signal before it hit the amp?
Congrats!!
Thanks! If you check out the intro to "New Revelation" that's basically a dry guitar track. We're not running much processing on the guitars at all. I use a Maxon OD820 to boost. EMG 85 pickup in the bridge. 6505+ and a Mesa cabinet.
Cool - can't believe it's a dry track... WOW..!
shane,
great stuff! "Dark Fiber" is my first impulse buy in quite a while. The snare does sound weird sometimes, but by far not as distracting as the kick on the last into eternity album
Anyway, thanks for making it available as non-DRMed files! The price difference between mp3 and lossless files is justified, but the prices itself seem a bit high for a download only product.
Unfortunately the link for the booklet failed on the mp3 purchase page. I dropped you an email with the php error.
Gonna listen to your stuff some more now.
best,
k
Yo Shane, Congrats on the album! Hey, I want to buy the album. I'm a material guy. I need to smell the aroma of freshly printed liner notes and shit. I also have dial up at the moment so...Can you mail me a copy? Thanks, Shane
We got a short run of physical CDs made, mainly for press local shows, but we are going to set up larger-scale online sales of our CDs with CDBaby at some point in the near future. Sign up for our email list on backmask.com and you will know as soon as they're available.
have you looked into tunecore.com. it sounds pretty cool and it is owned by fletcher from mercenary audio. it seems way better than the other services at the moment. look into it at least. let me know what you think about it.
