Tony H. - Lyrics, Vocals Jesse C. - Guitars, Recording, Mixing Kevin Craig - Drums, Bass, Guitar "Solo" Jesse asked me previously what I wanted to record, and I told him "stoner/doom metal is what I'm feeling." He was playing the main riff…

Leana J. - Lyrics Kevin Craig - Programming, Mixing Leana faced down the blank page and kindly sent us 4 songs worth of lyrics. We only had time to finish two of them, but the other two will hopefully see the light of day at some point…

Jesse C. - Vocals, Drums, Guitar Solo, Recording, Mixing Kevin Craig - Bass, Guitars, Lyrics Last song we recorded in Milford. I'd been sitting on the two main bass riffs for... 7 years? Came up with the bridge part and lyrics in the studio…

"Cabbage Face" was one of the "what words can we spell only using A through G?" chord sequences we came up with during the Spice Rack Collective recording sessions at the Mixing House in Milford, MA. I used it kind of a lot when I got back home. :)

Another short, cat-inspired MIDI piece. This one is based on Cricket's cute little tippy-toe dance. :)

Looped and mangled field recording of my coffee grinder, toaster, and environs. I sneezed during the recording, so of course I had to use it. :)

Looped and mangled field recording of the shower in my hotel room during my work trip. It's a walk-in shower with a wide metal plate covering the drain under the shower head.

More MIDI, more FL Studio, more Cabbage Face.

Another cat-inspired MIDI piece. RIP, sweet little Willow. :(

Dan wrote this one, Kevin tightened up the MIDI parts, Dan added a guitar part, then Kevin exported the WAV file, changed the name, and added it to the album. (This one put Kevin in mind of the old Weather Channel local forecast from the early…

Kevin threw this one together while getting familiar with Dan's DAW software. (Could easily be called "Loops and Fades" on an album with a different theme...)
