(This is the the 6th release and 2nd album from Conductors.) This kitchen sink of an album was recorded over the course of the wild winter/spring fluctuation of 2014 (specifically January-April). The whole thing was spurred on by Julian whistling his way over to the town of Union with a car full of drums and microphones, which were then put to good use over the course of days which kept stretching into weeks and months as we decided we might as well clear out the whole storage closet of songs and make a few new ones. As you may wisely surmise that's why it's the longest Conductors release yet - don't try to fit it on one CD, they're just too compact for that! Unlike prior sessions, nothing was destroyed or damaged during the making of this album and recording went surprisingly smoothly, maybe because we didn't spend enough time making smoothies. Sometimes you've gotta sacrifice those smoothies - that's just the world we live in (we also live in a world where music's not only released on holidays, so this is the first Conductors release not to be either - don't worry, we're just getting worldly [Update! - I've been informed by a trusted source that May 19th is in fact Victoria Day, so we're not too worldly yet, Happy Victoria Day!]).
released May 19, 2014
