Finally got round to doing a physical release of my 3 EPs for Black Lantern. It's out 12 June, and repackages all 12 tracks from the EPs, with 6 bonus tracks, which are remixes and collabs with Mild Maynyrd, Asthmatic Astronaut, Wretch aka p.WRECKS, I†† and Morphamish. The CD features deluxe fold-out artwork by D. Miranda Pole and is numbered and signed.
I put together a history of Punk Rock. The idea is eventually for my band WRANK to do this live. You may disagree with the choices. If so, do yer bloody own.
Extracted from the gig video, The Hypnotic Eye's version of The Human Expression's "reading your Will" but a different audio mix, much harsher. Watch your ears and speakers!
The Hypnotic Eye - "Reading Your Will"(live)
As for the Hypnotic Eye outro video I just couldn't leave this one alone!
The outro was a nightmare to get some kind of half descent audio mix out of the recording .Because the sound came from the speakers, which reverberated off the walls, mixed with the chattering of the people, and electric guitars dominate such a wide frequency spectrum they drown even Grace Lightman's unusually sharp cutting vocal style.
So frequency cutting, paramatic eqs,multiband compression and all sorts are used on this audio mulch of a mess.
Hypnotic eye Outro (Version 1)above in the thread is more subby, if you are listening on speakers, more low end.
Hypnotic eye Outro Version 2 I decided to go the other way, and instead of cleaning it up, put the dirt back in make it harsher, distorted, louder, much more like it sounded at the time, an impressionist take on what it sounded like in my head.
I have a third version video on my flickr account where I put the low end back in, and kept the loudness.a halfway version between versions 1 and 2.
"The Hypnotic Eye Outro (version 2)"
They are unsigned, but have independently released a single called " Marianne "
I haven't met such a well organized band for a loooong time.I hope they win on all fronts, and they being unsigned means some A&R man is not doing their job for such a photogenic self contained, self packaged band.
