Also added it to the first post. My marketing skills are rusty.

Great stuff right there. That last one as it fades...need to hear more of that ;)

There was a video years ago of a guy on a hill, wind generator, and a TV...smashing it from memory, slo mo...Kiwi guys. I bought their CD. Loved it and need to find it - sounds like this a lot (anyone know that was? Was it Jakob?)

It is indeed a Jakob video. The name of the song escapes me at the moment, but i'm sure its on Youtube.

Edit: Nice day for an earthquake.

And it's ready! Downloads commence! Link is on the first page, or here: Icaro's Bandcamp page

I'll update with details about the recording process later, for anyone who is interested.

So do I, but we've had some people pay for their copies, and I'd like to say thanks on behalf of the band. If you like what you hear, please do recommend us to friends. We're playing a gig next month, so we want to try and spread the word as far as possible.

We've got some downloads coming from pretty weird places too - all over the world, which is great.

As a weird aside, someone from France has already uploaded several of the tracks to Youtube :shock: and one has 200+ views, the other has 300+ views.

(not a bump)

We're very close to 100 album downloads on Bandcamp - thanks for the support guys! We've just had 20 downloads happen in the last few hours, which is awesome.

Regarding hard copies of the album, we've decided to go for a limited initial run of professional duplicated CDs. These will hopefully be ready in 2-3 weeks.

If you'd like to preorder a copy, message me here or head to our FB page. The cost will be $15, including postage to you (and our autographs, if you like).

Thanks once again!

Hayden
