Ravel Day EP

Self produced: recorded January - June 2008 / released August 26th.

ravel day ep is, more or less, the smoldering remains of what could have been our summer 2008 cross-country tour. our original plan at the start of the year was to do lots of touring around these wonderful states of ours, but two engagements, two funerals, and one life-threatening illness later, the open road seemed a less-likely option. since we weren’t heading out of Brooklyn for the summer, we got out the microphones and recording gear, and this new EP is a reflection of that time.

with each release we try to do something new, and this one features lead vocals from each member of the group. we’re also doing some personalization with the packaging that started with a hundred heavily doctored-up photos that we pasted up around our neighborhood. each ep was glued and stamped by hand. the actual cover art for the EP has one of 4 different photos of that street art we put up around Brooklyn. we also included a Polaroid series and original “source” photo that the street art started from in the first 80 cd’s we put together.

you can see pictures of the street art, Polaroids, and other related things here (humdrumboy) and here (b. tieman). enjoy.
