New Album Release from Everything Oscillating

This was a year in the making, after coming out of quarantine. Kicked my butt in every good way possible. I had retooled my hand technique and this music completely utilized it to the max. The mixing and mastering process exceeded my expectations, and we even have a customized master to give us the vinyl experience that we wanted as vinyl lovers. I’m proud to share this with you today. This is the album we wanted to make solely for ourselves, with the hopes that maybe someone else might like it. It would be an honor if you took a moment and listened today on your favorite platform, or even bought the vinyl if that’s your thing. And please let me know what you think. More info below.

New release of “Had” by Stereo Creeps

It was our big day! On May 22, 2020, Stereo Creeps released a new track “Had” that will be part of a whole new ep or album or something that we are currently working on. The song was actually recorded back in 2019 at Earwig. I did this whole massive tuning of Don Farwell’s house kit to get the right vibe for the song. It felt like a huge risk, and I hope that paid off. I mean, this is the first release of a studio recording with me in the band, so I absolutely had to get it right. I think we recorded 2 takes to tape, and called that good. If you listen closely, you’ll hear members of Suitcase on backing vox. We had a whole watch party to commemorate the release (can’t be embedded here), or just watch the video below.
