Your Old Pal's Experimental Sludge album

[aen]

is called Blood Bears

It's me and my eternal musical companion Matt. We played all the instruments and did the mouth sounds, too. We wrote and recorded and mixed together, and it's the best thing I've made. If you could pass that link along to other interested parties, that would be amazing.

[D.o.S.]

Pretty nifty there pal.

Thank you, DOS!
This is the only full length I've done since 2012 that doesnt feature Magiclawnchair.

[D.o.S.]

I fucked up though. I just hit play so I'm starting with Dinosaur, rather than the first track. Good stuff regardless.

[Dungus]

Loving the first track so far. Sounds great.

ps. track 2 is At The Chime of a City Clock by Nick Drake, which makes me very happy. Thanks.

[PeteeBee]

Really digging this. I unfortunately started the first track with only 15 minutes left on my lunch break, so I don't even have time to get through the first song haha

[lapsteel]

Killer.
Sounds awesome. Massive.
What's your synth set up look like?

I am here to say that this stuff is awesome! I love the dark vibe.

I had no idea! Never heard it before, but I just checked it out... crazy. Obviously a lot of these riffs are trying to tap into familiar feelings, if not riffs...

First: Thanks!
Second: This was all Moog Voyager Old School and Sub Phatty. There are a couple parts where they are double tracked (opening of Court of Owls)and I think the intro to Iceman is all Sub Phatty tracks? There's a small chance it's got Little Phatty on Iceman, but I only say that because I don't remember for sure. I'm a little foggy on my synth history, since we recorded this in like '13. I used a piano patch from Reason for the last melody on the album.

We recorded them all direct, and when we gigged (some of) this stuff we went str8 2 the PA for synths.

[PanicProne]

Listened the other day. Really, really good stuff.
Also, when's the next ronald raygun coming ouuut? I'm still waiting.

[Blackened Soul]

Listening now, good stuff!

Dude, I finally had the time to listen to this while jacking off to the BILF pics. This is some really cool stuff, love the fuzz toanz and droney bits and quasi-choral vocals. Nice work.
