Nine tracks captured over four nights in a converted basement hall with vintage ribbon microphones.

Debut 7-inch

Limited press lathe cut single

Raw fuzz pedal distortion recorded direct to two-track mono with hand-numbered cardstock sleeves.

Tape Notes

Analog recording without digital safety nets

The tape ran out twice during the third take, so we kept the third take. Every session relies on live room sound, vintage tube amplifiers, and zero plug-ins.

Bass frequencies deserve physical room to breathe, which is why our mixes stay heavy, saturated, and uncompressed.

Studio Liner Notes
