There is a bit of an irony in sharing this given the song's meaning, which the cover art also alludes to. So forgive the mild hypocrisy. Here's the artwork for our song which drops this Friday!

We haven't talked about our CD release of Chipsurf Pipeline in a bit, but it's a thing! We had to tweak things a bit (and will be updating the 10th Anniv release too) but I think it's basically there. So expect more news soon!

I had to derack our mixer to flip some jumpers (again). Saw this horror show of wires and snapped a photo. This was mostly for a friend that hates wires. But thought I'd share it out to the world too. - Tim

Behind the scenes for the Syringe cover art. Taken with a Chamonix 45F2 and Wolensak 150mm uncoated lens (which Tim hoped would pass more UV onto the film). BW sheets are drying now and color sheets are getting mailed to the lab today.

I was debating on sharing this as it may or may not be the official artwork for our song, Syringe and I don't want to spoil surprises.
Taken on my 4x5 camera with a 1950's lens and shot on HP5 film.

Mixer pr0n. Finally getting around to adjust the aux bus config to be more suited for use as a studio, rather than live, mixer.

My new to me CD player arrived! Yes an actual CD player playing an actual CD (not just ripping one). It's fun!
(Probably foreshadows what we're planning as well)
It's Iris' Awakening album for the curious.

And there we go! All our albums/singles are on music.victimcache.com. Bandcamp isn't perfect but it's better, in our view, than Spotify by leaps and bounds.
What about the physical releases? We're still looking into options for those too!

I'm not saying this is what we're gonna do, but I always felt like a physical release of Chipsurf Pipeline deserved a full album and it would look pretty sweet on CD...
It really deserves to be on vinyl, I think, but one risky project at a time. - Tim

A box came from Ukraine! What's in it!? We already dropped a hint. You'll hopefully find out soon-ish!

We went DAWless at practice yesterday. Just piano, John's modular guitar rig, and vocals. I ended up using my Audio 4 DJ and Reaper to then record the multi-tracks so we can work on things in between practices. That took some work but I got there. - Tim

An irony in taking a Russian 16mm camera (the venerable K-3) to a protest about defending Democracy, but I really wanted to capture this Saturday on film.
We hope it remains peaceful but memorable and historical.

What's time doing here? And how could it possibly relate to the band!? #WaitAndSee But it'll be a while.
In the meantime, new song should hopefully be out this week!

Splurged on a 10" reel of RTM SM911! I kept running out of my 7" reel while working on some of our masters. Plus it looks nice! 3 tape decks in one photo. I might have a problem. (Yes I know I didn't do a good job on the tape pack).
Our next song is coming soon!

Mixing Time! Working on our latest Chipsurf song, D-Bug. Not shown is Tim's Tascam 32 R2R but don't worry it's there! We really enjoy using an analog mixer for mixdowns. This time we're also using some tube and an external compressor (for the noise drums).

We don't wanna make a habit of this, but we swapped our album cover for Demokra¢ide. Tim took this photo during the 50501 march a few weeks ago. Triggering? That's kind of the point.
