for the last couple months, i’ve been making my first full length lp, and second release as happy prescriptions. its called ‘the enter sign.’ i’ve spent over a month on the mix-down which has taught me a 2240 lbs and given me good ideas on to how to record the next album. anyway, this project is close to the (quotes) finish line and i’m very excited to get it out to you! here’s what the artwork looks like:
the art was made my emma sparber who i’m very indebted to for. (what kind of expensive alcohol do you like, emma?)
the cd is 7 songs, 40 minutes, and more abrasive than previous stuff i’ve done. aside from the normal shoegazy sounds i try to go for, i was listening to lots of post punk and psych rock, esp portland psych rock. the main influences on this album were liars, psychic ills, brian jonestown massacre, upsidedown, and PiL. but really, i was listening to dozens of bands for inspiration, and i’m indebted to them all (what’s your favorite type of wine, david byrne?)
the lyrics revolve around a man who goes blind from looking into the sun. the sun itself is some sort of strange amalgam of religion, media, radio waves, sex, and drugs.
i’ll let you know when its available. should be soon!!
xo.
