AshleyRobinson release debut LP

About Me


Buy on iTunes
This album (why have you gone mad?) was recorded by people who generally feared and misunderstood each other in a dirty, makeshift studio above a cabinet shop located in a 100+ year old former post office/masonic lodge, 20 feet from a busy train track.
The audio was sent through old PA heads and organs, vintage tube gear that their friend found at goodwill, various strange and esoteric electrical equipment, crappy thrift store mics, and a couple of decent mics that were found at pawnshops to a home made pc where it was subjected to the extremely unhealthy and obsessively detailed manipulations of the anxiety ridden, self sabotaging "producer" Years passed with little progress. By this time they all secretly hated each other so instead of working it out in a healthy adult way they used their childish resentment as artillery, decimating each other from behind their favorite mountainous terrain. Needless to say after a year or so of this they each went their separate ways. The band died before the record was finished and the material languished on HDD for a while. It was never expected that it would ever see the light of day.
The only reason that this album is available is the result of endless, patient nagging by close friends and family. The "producer" was convinced to "finish" what was salvageable and agree to it's release to the general public. Owing to the fact the "producer" had accidentally found a way to become a somewhat mature and happy adult, the record was actually "finished" in a reasonable amount of time. We sincerely hope that it will provide a listenable and enjoyable experience to whomever chooses to open their ears to it's dalliances.
Currently we (the core band members) are in communication and actually seem to like and understand each other. We are excited that the record is being made available. Noises are being made about getting together to finish the rest of the songs and record some new stuff, but we will see about that.Thanks for listening.
