Spuzz Jams Volume 2 - Reuinions

DOWNLOAD OR STREAM FOR FREE!!

This is the second release as Spuzz Jams. This album consists of snippets taken from many different jams throughout early 2013 through the Spring of 2014, and if I had to compare it to anything, I would say it is most like Emperors of Gnouv's Oh Baby New Year album, but a slightly more mature version. Like most of our improvisational music, this album features a lot of different musicians playing multiple instruments. I spent weeks on the post production overdubs, drones, samples, etc. The result is an eclectic group of songs that span fusion, post-rock, psychedelic rock, space rock, odd time signatures, and other weird stuff anyone familiar with Gnouv music would be accustomed to hearing. Enjoy!

Tracks:
1) Skidaleedoo
2) Engine
3) Deepsee Destiny
4) Gray Tower Sky
5) Mania Intro
6) Mania
7) Get It Out
8) The Lazy Morning After
9) Waiting Room Music
10) Intri
11) Y2K
12) I Thought I Got That Out

Production, mastering, and overdubbing by Belvis Freshly.
Featuring:
Somnium
James Lake (Fynndlit)
Aaron Cote
Michael Caraglio
Jack Selberg
Alexander "Shrub" Bravo
Ian Gibbs (of Vinyl Williams)
Nick Lake
Alex Rowe
Justin Neff
Ramon Metsoulth

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
Somnium - Guitar, Samples, Signal Processing, Percussion
