Deaf To Van Gogh's EP Release
Saturday, May 2 2009
After several months of work, my band, Deaf To Van Gogh’s Ear, finally finished our EP entitled “We Call Them Accidents Because We Don’t Want Them To Happen”. It’s a five song EP and we’re having a release party at Kro Bar in Manchester on the 2nd of May. The EP will be available for sale on the night, as well as on my Store page, and the DVTGE page for £4.
We recorded, mixed, mastered everything ourselves, and even went so far as doing all the packaging, literally, from scratch. From marking, cutting, folding and glueing the CD cases, to making the silkscreen and screen printing the whole lot of them. The ‘Plant’ series of images were created by resident artist Angela Guyton, and the insert photos were done by Martin Wilson.
Here are some pictures and videos of the (fun?) process:
Here is a video of us recording drums for the song 'Several Ways To Eat A Biscuit'.
A little explanation: Adam is holding a China cymbal on the skin of the kick drum, there is a small cymbal on the snare. They then remove both of these super seamlessly.
