This album came out of nowhere and took us less than 1 weekend to put together and have ready for release. We played a show on a Friday night at Winstons in Ocean Beach and the recording came out better than we could have expected. Its funny cause we really did have bad vibes going into the show but I think that really added to the energy of the performance.
The first 6 songs are taken from that show and I think it is a great representation of where we are right now in this moment. This record sounds like Tommy Dubs and Seismic Leveler in this moment. I think that is one of the things that I like best about this album, most records you work on for months if not years and by the time you are done, what you started with is most often not what you end up with. Maybe that is not how it is for most bands, but I am sure some of you out there can relate to that. Yeah there are imperfections, but there are in life too ..hence the name "True Life and B-sides".
The last 4 songs are dub versions of some rhythms that we have sitting in the vaults, see if you can guess what other band sampled the sample in "Illusions". These tracks are all about vibing out and giving something for all your heads to nod to.
