Christian Erickson - “Advance Promotional Cassette”
“Advance Promotional Cassette” is a 3Side of recordings I’ve made at home recently. I had quite a bit of help from Ed Ackerson, my wife and Astronaut Wife bandmate Janey Winterbauer, and others. Some notes on the songs themselves:
Song #1: A Little Sun
Wrote this a long time ago and never recorded it. Jon Hunt help me arrange the chorus on this way back when. Most of it was recorded and mixed by me on my laptop at home, but the awesome drum track was played by Peter Anderson and engineered and edited by Ed Ackerson. Janey sings on it of course.
Song #2: Paper Airplane
Another one I’ve been meaning to record forever. Again, a home recording for the most part, except Janey’s vocals which Ed recorded and edited at Flowers when we had planned on her singing it.
Song #3: Stitching Time
This is a cover of a song by The Legendary Pink Dots – one of my all time favorite bands. I banged this out in a couple hours one afternoon. I really, really dig this song, hopefully it shows on the track.
