Chrysalis

During Hempfest and Rayfest, we passed out about 60 or 70 copies of Chrysalis to fans, friends, other bands, and random people who looked like they might appreciate it.

Chrysalis is an odyssey of experimental improvisation. It was recorded in the Fall of 2007 after Jim and I came back from a Mike Perkins concert. It was about 5:00AM and there was a thunderstorm rumbling outside. We recorded our psychedelic insanity non-stop for over an hour in the darkness of the viper room.

Due to the intensity of our mental states during this session, Chrysalis tends to be very dark and haunting. It also has moments of terror, but it is also often soothing and the last track has a sort of tranquil zen quality to it, as if a catharsis took place during the recording.

2 of the 7 tracks that we broke Chrysalis up into are available to listen to on our Myspace page. (Pistols at Dawn and Runner's High)

This is the CD liner that I designed for our Demo which includes Chrysalis and 3 refined studio tracks. (The front is the second part - you fold it in half)
over 80 copies of this have been printed, limited editions in color. When the studio tracks are completely polished, the Demo will be released.



I'm still making copies of Chrysalis too, so if you want one, just ask me.
