Terminal Thaw

A chopped-and-screwed album of wintry screeches, despondent pop, and glittery post-climate nightmare fantasies

I wanted to capture the Nov-March sounds of:

-Cold endless winds
-The revving of a car stuck in a ditch
-Skidding out on a patch of ice
-Falling down
-Feeling FROSTY
-Feeling COZY
-A roaring fire
-Consumeristic Void
-Small bouts of wonder & beauty in an otherwise dark and depressing season
-Scraping ice off a window
-Frostbite
-Driving on a lake of frozen water
-becoming ice
-Etc

90% of this was recorded LIVE to a single stereo track with no overdubs, multitracking, or editing. I used an SP-404, electric guitar, and a small but versatile modular rack for all the sounds

The 10% that was overdubbed includes: the vocals on tracks 1 4 and 9, as well as most of track 9 which was composed in ableton
