That was soooo good! You better not let ACT use it, might get them too many votes....

Hey guys, our album came out a week ago if anyone is interested.

http://theeversons.lilchiefrecords.com/

For the geeks:
Except for the second to last song which was layered, the instruments were recorded together live. There were two or three minor edits on the guitars but each song is one solid take, a couple to a click but most of them free. Vocals (and tambo) were overdubbed one by one.

One guitar is a Strat (neck) - Rat - Holy Grail - AC15 (new Chinese made one with a Greenback).
The other is a Tele (mainly bridge) - Wampler 65 OD - Van Amps spring reverb - Jansen Bassman 50 - Matamp 1x12 (with a Hot100).

Bass was a Tiesco with flatwounds and mutes into an Orange AD200b and Livesound 8x10. Some tracks have a Fuzz Face clone.

Both guitars were also DI'd in case we wanted to reamp them later, but ended up running them through Pod Farm with a '60s Fendery "almost clean" sound with heaps of reverb. These were blended underneath the real amps, made it a bit more jangly and poppy.

The second to last song is a Karia acoustic and the Tiesco bass just DI'd, and the last song is a Tele on the neck into a Carr Mercury.

Stop motion animated felt on our first video from the album. The song is pretty Weezer influenced. Weezer Blue Album or Pinkerton.

We're up on August 10th and 11th playing at Casette and Golden Dawn respectively. Gonna have a go headlining Kings Arms in Sept. Should be fun

I'm disappointed by the lack of sex-worker references.
