Hi fellow LAU's!
This is a kind of a small pre-release announcement of our new Album
"Turnabout", in the next week it will be available in retail
outlets
and announced elsewhere but it's already on
Soundcloud so I thought
I'd post it here on LAU...
This was recorded and produced on Ardour 5 and utilizes a variety
of
FLOSS and Commercial plugins including Ardour Team,
Harrison
Consoles,
linuxDSP/OverToneDSP, Guitarix, Calf, U-he + SWH,
CAPS, TAP, Furse
Ladspa's. We also did a lot of work with mic placements and ambient
stairwell miking as well as simple line-delays for natural reverbs.
*ALBUM NOTES*
"Turnabout" is our second Rated Blue album release following 2015's
"Three Walls Down". Where "Three Walls Down" was initially a
collection of songs for posterity "Turnabout" is a more cohesive
collection influenced and written against the backdrop of the 2016
US
Presidential Election (no we're not American but
when the
neighbor's
house is on fire you pay attention!!). Our core
musical inspiration
remains the gut-level immediacy of the Blues within the
collaborative
interactivity of a guitar trio but stylistically and
sonically
Turnabout roams much farther afield than it's predecessor and is
probably best summed up as 'Alt-Blues'.
Turnabout opens with "Straight Up" a funky inspired plea for the
media to cut to the chase. "The Second Sister" touches on gender
and
sexual equality. "When You Got a Name" leans
heavily toward Prog
and
examines lives left behind by the cult of celebrity .
The latin
influenced title track "Turnabout" traces the insidious rise of
Reality TV and it's troubling consequences. "Unsteady" surf-rocks
out
and rips on the unreliable nature of mavericks and
"You" questions
a
seeming lack of world leadership. "Man On a
Wire" closes the album
with a collection of vignettes ending on an unresolved chord.
If you are a Blues or Rock fan becoming weary of well-worn Blues
cliches and tiring of flashy virtuosity we invite you to give this
new
release a listen and hope you'll find our
'songs-first' mentality
an
appealing alternative within the Blues/Roots genre.
Thanks for
reading
(and listening).
Glen, Connor and Pete - Rated Blue

Really enjoyed these tracks. I didn't notice any 'issues' at all, but
then I
was just listening to the music rather than examining it :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
