Mah band: The Inclined
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:24 pm
So I was meaning to hold off on posting this until our "proper" website was finished, and our "offical" album was released, but today's pretty much sucky, so I figured maybe a little band-pimpin' would lift my spirits.
For the amusement of one and all, I present my band, The Inclined:
http://www.myspace.com/theinclined
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Inclined/43153932582 (no tracks up there yet, but supposedly this week)
The whole "abra-cadabra reveal" thing above is just because we've been working on this album for quite a while. Well, maybe not the album, so much as figuring out how to make the album. Basically we've spent the last couple of years figuring out our workflow and how to write songs in this incarnation. We kind of evolved from a "regular" band into an "electronic" band without really understanding how to write songs without turning up the amps and getting the drummer to give us a beat. So it took us a while to get the kinks ironed out. Hopefully it'll sound like we did, anyhow.
Oh, and while I play bass, I had to learn to write basslines that didn't conflict with the synth bass. So there's a lot of wannabe New Order high & melodic basslines going on there, as well as a good amount of POG.
Most everything was recorded direct and effected/manipulated in the studio, with certain exceptions like "Never Ending" (that has plenty o' pedal-effected tracks, though it's been so long, I don't know if I could tell you whats what anymore). Oh, and the bass sound for "Only Want to Be With You" is pure B:assmaster on an ugly kick.
If you want to listen to the whole thing, you can hear it on Last.fm:
http://www.last.fm/music/The+Inclined/The+First+Day+of+Many
And the label that's helping us put it out is http://www.75orlessrecords.com/, who are totally awestometastic.
And that's my story. I hope you like it. And if you wanna be friends on Myspace, well, so do we! (And that's the last pimpin' I'll do for the moment)
