My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 16/09/2007
Band Website: myspace.com/yellowboxrecords
Band Members: JL Bait (male)
Influences: are not what they used to be.
Sounds Like: "Shorts" YBR003 recorded in 2005. Eighteen tracks written and recorded in one day on bass, electric guitar, and drums, each clocking in at around a minute, followed by two longer, more experimental tracks with a glitchy soundtrack type vibe.

"Tira" YBR006 recorded in 2005. Eight tracks written and recorded over a three week period. Predominately an acoustic affair featuring acoustic guitar, bass, banjo, keyboards, drums, lush harmonies, personal and political lyrics, and three acapella tracks.

"The Closing Of Not The" YBR008 recorded in 2009. See blog for details.

Coming soon...

"Extreme Shorts For Two" recorded in Jan 2007. Forty three tracks in nine and a half minutes. Following the premisis of "Shorts", all tracks written and recorded in one day on acoustic guitar and two string cello. Bonus material TBA.

"Birthday Album Vol. 1" and "Birthday Album Vol. 2", recorded in May 2006 and May 2007 respectively. These are documents of what happens every year on JL Bait's birthday when he locks himself into the studio with a bottle of bourbon. These albums are all over the place, sometimes serious and astute, other times, hilariously unhinged.

Plus many many more re-issues (or, more accurately, issues, seems how they were never released in the first place) from the vault, as well as many other projects from 2008 and 2009.
Record Label: Yellow Box Records
