09.17.12 | I'd recommend it to fans of Radiohead, Mogwai, Oceansize, Circa Survive, and The Dear Hunter. |

09.17.12 | 1 song in, am liking |
UnnamedOcean
09.17.12 | Thanks ;) I played a little bit of everything. I did the drums, half the bass parts and some of the guitars. |
UnnamedOcean
09.17.12 | Haha I think I got the drift of that. |
UnnamedOcean
09.17.12 | I would be chuffed if someone could review this. |
UnnamedOcean
09.17.12 | I'd love you forever if you did. |
Solisis
09.17.12 | yeah it was pretty good when I listened to the first few songs before going to piano practice. |
UnnamedOcean
09.17.12 | Listen to the rest when you're back then ;) |
SpiritCrusher2
09.17.12 | how many mics did you use for recording drums? |
SpiritCrusher2
09.17.12 | oh and the first song is really good, I'll listen to the rest after I finish with another album |
jrm96
09.17.12 | not dissapointed |
UnnamedOcean
09.18.12 | Thanks! We used 7 mics. One for the snare, 3 for the toms, bass drum and 2 overhead condensors. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | damn, do they usually use that many mics? |
UnnamedOcean
09.18.12 | Some people use even more than that, like one for each cymbal as well. |
jrm96
09.18.12 | wow, i learned something new today.
anyways, keep up the good work |
UnnamedOcean
09.18.12 | Awesome, thanks a ton dude. |
SpiritCrusher2
09.18.12 | I'm asking cause we are also recording an album but we don't have nearly enough mics to record the drums so we will have to program them on addictivedrums :/
oh btw you EP rules, great job! |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.18.12 | When I get a chance to listen to the whole thing properly, I'll consider review, but I'm kinda busy atm, so no promises |
UnnamedOcean
09.18.12 | No problem man. Oh, and thanks a lot :D We actually considered using addictive drums, but I wanted the fluid sound of real drums. It's a nice bit of software if you're on a budget. |
UnnamedOcean
09.18.12 | I'm glad you like the production. I don't know much about engineering, so mixing this EP was a learning experience. |
truekebabpower
09.18.12 | I'd even say a lot of Post rock influences, good stuff though |
XingKing
09.18.12 | I remember that one track you posted last week and it was fantastic. Giving this a listen now and I am excited to hear what you've done. |
UnnamedOcean
09.19.12 | Thanks a ton everyone :) I guess when I say alternative I mean along the lines of bands such as radiohead. I actually planned a concept for the ep, but without vocals i decided to shelve that and use it later. The band name was picked basically because it sounded intriguing, not much more. |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.19.12 | Given this a proper listen, great experience; well done!!
However, I'm not sure that I can think of enough to say about it to write a full review :( |
UnnamedOcean
09.19.12 | No worries man, I'm just glad you enjoyed itand would consider the idea of reviewing it |
