Spuzz Jams Vol. 1 - Cinnamon Synonym Pseudonym

FREE DOWNLOAD!!
This album was recorded in the cabin up in Big Bear - our third consecutive summer with a third consecutive album up at the cabin. For minanim and myself, this album explored a darker spectrum of emotions than the more celebratory, happy-go-lucky kind of music from Germish Sperman and Meals of Oblivion from 2011 and 2012 respectively, since each one of us were going through some things in our lives at the time. The music took on a glassy and dark atmosphere, which I think is pretty apparent to the listener when hearing it. The music is 100% improvised, and features some members from Emperors of Gnouv (James, minanim, Mica, and myself. Also featuring Neifs on synthesizers. Renz "Balla-G" Balagtas did the album art and Layne Scheiner did the graphics). Enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think.

Tracks:
1) Intro - Sonic Droplets
2) Synonym
3) Interlude - Darkstar
4) Pseudonym I
5) Pseudonym II
6) Pseudonym III
7) Pseudonym IV
8) PseudonymV
9) Pseudonym VI
10) Interlude - Under Blue Glass
11) Cinnamon I
12) Cinnamon II
13) Cinnamon III
14) Outro - Human Headed Rooster

The Fynndlit Big Band - Meals of Oblivion LP


CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD!
This is The Fynndlit Big Band's latest Big Bear studio recording. We approached this album track by track, focusing on ways we could combine what we had in original ways, trying to create something different from one track to the next. We ended up making an album with a lot of really interesting variety whose cohesion and textures came together in a surprising way - sometimes more obviously than others, sometimes more subtlety. Also, to me the whole thing had a totally playful air about it. The cabin is definitely a fun place to record. While we were there, we made a bunch of really kick ass meals and drew a crazy cool picture for album art. Enjoy!

Track Listing:
1) Squiggle One
2) And Two
3) Space Meet
4) Didnime Culd
5) Gopher Chauffeur
6) Level 6
7) Blue Lotus
8) Meals of Oblivion

Personnel:
Fynndlit - Drums, Analogue Synth, Production
Everever - Trumpet, Percussion, Reeds, Harps
Family Figz - Bass, Drums (Track 4), Digital Synth
Shrub - Guitar (Track 1), Bass (Track 4), Drums (Track 5), Percussion, Electronics
