Bands First Full Length album

I play bass in Vessel (www.vesselnh.com) we're a post rock band from New Hampshire.



We recorded our album at Thundering Sky Studios in South Berwick Maine. (www.thunderingsky.com)


We were super happy with the final product. I was surprised to have my bass so present in the mix. usually something i dont hear so present when playing live or in other settings.. but we are super happy to have this cd done.


let me know what you guys think.

here is the entire album on youtube

Nope we are strictly instrumental.

 

got word today that our album will be carried in the bullmoose music stores we have a batch in another local store too.. its nice when things start coming together.

we hope at some point that our talents get recognized and we get the opportunity to do some movie scoring... thats one of our goals. Its super fun writing conceptually and its definitely something we would like to do often outside of our own albums

 

thanks for the kind words!

 

anyone in the NH area should come see us play tomorrow night in manchester, nh at the shaskeen (9:30pm free show 21+)

 

thundering sky gets my 150% recommendation.

everyone else in the band would do the same. Chris Magruder hands down is the best in the area.

he has a crazy attention to detail and 20+ years in the biz worth every penny.


on a personal level he's just an awesome guy too. very mild mannered and awesome to hang with .. made things even easier.


he has a billion tricks up his sleeve too.. probably learned and forgotten more things than most people know.

 

its a small world for sure


what kind of stuff does your band play?

 

also if you end up at thundering sky tell him vessel sent you


another awesome thing about thundering sky is he has a ton of vintage cabs, amps and gear there that you can use when you record there. we were able to use a really nice early marshall cab for stephens guitar work.

 

lol probably not.. and we dont get a kick back either.. its just nice to have him know where a bunch of customers come from.. lol.

we have a friends currently recording there on his tape setup. probably had at least 3-4 friends bands record there since our album.

 

sounds great. definitely a good master would help things. it was amazing to hear the process in the studio.. being able to hear each instrument more clearly as he was working on it. i cant wait to get back in to the studio.

 

You can do either way. We had 100percent trust in his abilities after hearing the rough mixes. So we told him to do his magic and we will let himknow if we needed changes. There were a couple tiny tweaks we had him do.. but he has an awesome ear. We ended up paying for recording and bartering for mixing... he loves vintage gear, and such. One band does hardscape and bartered studio time for a walkway.. lol.. he's flexible on that end of things.. if you can be lucky to have gear or a skill to barter..
