my good friend Gabe of the band Houseguest has started an awesome internet singles label called Actual Archives and will be releasing an exclusive Sinkane online download.
The song is called “Great Ghost” and will be available b/w of “Ambient Weeks.” Two songs recorded during the sessions for “Sinkane.”
more info soon.
I recorded this song in my bedroom sometime last winter and then re-recorded it in june during the “Sinkane” record sessions. I decided to take “Ambient Weeks” off the new record because I didn’t feel like it meshed with the rest of the music. I also took another song off the record that I will be posting as a free download sometime soon. It’s called “Great Ghost” and i will be re-recording it in the future for some other release.
I am finishing up a new song called “Sailin’” for a split 7″ with The Black Swans. Rob Duffy from Donewaiting.com is putting it out. Expected to be released in early 2009.
download: Ambient Weeks
i played drums in a session with my good friends mike, christian and brandon, of the band deathly fighter, sometime last spring @ the columbus discount records studio. we all got together and crammed into a small corridor and recorded a couple of songs. this one is entitled ’spanish fly’ and came out pretty nicely. long live dirge jams. i didn’t tell the guys that i was posting this but i figured it was ok since i found mike posting it on donewaiting. hope y’all enjoy!
sinkane live @ the wexner april 9th 2008
this was the show we played with caribou on april 9th @ the wexner center in columbus, oh. the live band consisted of myself on guitar/vocals, evan richards on rhodes/baritone guitar, mike vallera on guitar, mike howard on bass, john also bennett on guitar and mat bisaro on drums. it was fun to play. every time i listen to this recording i hate how my voice sounds but whatever.
all songs from this recording will be featured on the next LP in some way, shape or form. the new album has been fully recorded and mixed by mark himmel, john fintel and myself at relay recordings in columbus, oh. it is self titled. mark and i camped out at relay for three days and tracked the entire record with little sleep. im very proud of the results. the album is an ode to my influences. track listing is as follows:
1. desert blues
2. blown
3. the glow/white light
4. apache beat
5. great ghost
6. ambient weeks
7. big sky
8. tan airplane
will be released on Emergency Umbrella records in 2009.
ill be recording a bunch of new songs for free downloads/7″’s/split releases/etc… once i get back to georgia this weekend.
currently obsessed with this record. i was turned onto it from jamey from of montreal while we were driving around in athens several weeks back. i might be a little bit slow on this but sheesh. such an incredible record. super spaced out cosmic psych-folk. very easy to fall back and just lost in this. im in a really big reggae/dub phase right now but this, and the omnipresent pharoah sanders & alice coltrane, are the exceptions. like sanders and coltrane, white noise creates interesting sounds with layers. effected tape loops over drum rolls and delayed vocals create a subtle wall of sound… does that even make sense? whatever. haven’t been inspired by much of the new music coming out right now. it’s interesting that a record form 1968 can sound more fresh and exciting than something that has been released 40 years later.
this was the first piece of music i created as sinkane. i put it out on cd-r last year and kind of forgot about it. im really detached from it now and i feel like the only thing i should do with it is give it away for free. i really wanted to create a lush pulse with out drums on this song. something melodic, repetitive but somewhat lose and mind numbing. you can download it from the link below.
