Most of those who read this know that I’m in a band called The Early. It’s a project that’s taken various forms, but has been part of my life for the past 8 years or so. Today we’ve released a new track called ‘In Korea‘. The song was born from a composition written by Alex Lewis on acoustic guitar, and grew into a recorded piece featuring drums, guitars, field recordings, a mutilated eBow track, and plenty of noise. Everything but the field recordings were tracked and mixed here at Badlands. We’re quite proud of it and are happy to share it with everyone. It’s our first release since The Liberty Sessions almost two years ago.
In just a few weeks from now, we’ll be putting out another batch of recordings, this time with our friend Holland Andrews of Like A Villain. It’s a split tape release on local Portland label Friends For Life. We’ll be playing a pair of release shows, with the first one at Valentines in downtown PDX. Check out the Facebook event here. In addition to us and Like A Villain, Team Evil will be playing, featuring our new friend Victor Nash.
I’ll have more to share from The Early in the coming weeks, but I couldn’t wait to post about what we’ve been working on. Thanks for reading.
