Sepia//Memory & Slumlord

Sepia//Memory
A fine cloudy saturday morning here in Long Beach. It looks like better music will be played here after all. I recently started on a project entitled Sepia//Memory. So what is Sepia//Memory? This project I am starting is a Kolya/The Exploration influence that was one piece and now a 2 piece band. I wouldnt say that its exact a twinkly band (Since thats something from the Midwest) but I will say it draws some of that influence. Anyways its in sing talk lyrics form, Ive recently released an EP entitled The Red Room Sessions #1, a 2 song single "Sleep Patterns/Jargon" and the most recent 2013 Summer Demo. Right now I am currently working on a EP as a 2 piece. So far I have 6 songs done for it. The meaning of this project is to simply let go of the things I been holding into for years. Its like my therapy.

Slumlord
Before I began on Sepia//Memory Slumlord was a odd project I did. In October 2012 I was working on a 7 track EP entitled Night Noise. The songs ended up getting accidentally deleted and only one was saved so I had to start over with 5 other songs. Once I recorded the 5 Night Noise EP ended up being a 6 track. It has a solid mixture of Instrumental/Psychedelic-like/Ambient sound. A few weeks after that release I began working on a 10 song cassette. The release was unofficially released and the tape ended up being on the tape deck of the recorder for months which I ended up forgetting about I ended up posting the 10 songs on bandcamp as a Unreleased Cassette. There a bit more odd than the ones on Night Noise EP (Maybe the reason why I never released it). Will this project continue? Maybe as of now I am pretty much focused on Sepia//Memory and another band I am trying to start called "Omoide O Kataru" (Means Remnisce in Japanese). Slumlord was more of a mind relax stress free project. It would make me sleep to the tunes and have a content mood the next day. It wasnt my therapy but more of content flashbacks.

Ardvarck - High Hopes EP

Another new band I discovered this week. It has members of Lautrec and Lion of the north. So you guys pretty much know I am on this thing really really hard since I am a Lautrec nerd. It has the similar Lautrec-ish guitar style and somewhat on the vocals not too much though. But its good. I cant say too much but just check out there debut EP. Its great and it is going on my 2013 list as well. I hope these guys keep making more tunes and what not. Cheers!

Deaf Ears- Summer Demo '13

Welp its another summer day. And I am pretty much good to go for another quick post. This band is new new meaning they recently released there 2 song Summer demo at least about 2-3 weeks ago and my god its fucking good. They are from Arizona and have a similar style to Innards/Lautrec/Father Figure. So if you like those 3 bands I will say to check this. Check them out. This Summer demo is insanely good. Very good. Still life with candle approved.
