My 1st EP: Colorado Sky - "Stormchaser"

[Flemmigan]

After a few years of recording, self doubt, and re-recording, I finally put out an EP. It was mixed and mastered by the great @WidekMusic and I'm thrilled with the work he did.

Truth be told, I released it quietly a few months back but never posted about it since I was planning to tape a play through, but it's the end of the year and I haven't gotten around to that, so I figured I should just throw it out here before 2020

The EP originally began as one song and ended up splitting into 6 tracks unified by a recurring chord progression, although I aimed for the whole album to flow seamlessly. Although instrumental, the concept is that of a 15-16 hour drive I had to make many times from Colorado to Texas. I tried to encapsulate the sparse brutality of those landscapes, as well as specific memories like driving through a hail storm (Stormchaser) and nearly running out of gas in literally the middle of nowhere (...Stranded).

Suffice to say it's best listened to on a rural drive, but will likely appeal to anybody with a taste for beefy C# standard riffs, ambiance, and big progressive/post-rock layering.

At any rate, I hope some of you will enjoy, and Happy 2020!

I've driven across Texas a few times. The last time was a straight shot from Sedona, AZ to Houston, TX with quick pit stops as needed. I'm a big metal guy, but you definitely captured some of the eclectic and anxious emotions of that drive. The mix sounds great too.

Thanks so much for checking it out! And I agree, Widek did an incredible job on the mix.

Thanks! Definitely check out the rest if you get a chance. The first song is more of an overture and then it picks up and gets a lot more fun from there.

Sounds awesome dude! Love the vibe and ambience you’ve created. Loving 287 (South) a lot right now, has a really cool prog feel to it. Can’t wait to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Got a big drive coming up so I think it will be perfect . Well done man!

Nice! Lot's off different stuff going on in there. I like it. That sax really took me off gaurd.

Hey Jeff, thanks for checking it out! I hope it gets some play time on the drive. Just don't get caught speeding; documented risk of the title track's last third.

Thank you, glad you dig it! My buddy Doug did an awesome job bringing that track (which was otherwise a fairly unremarkable transition up to that point) to life with the sax. He must have done like a dozen different takes (at his preference; I was sold on take one), each one sounding more amazing than the last. When he was finally satisfied with his own work, it sounded unbelievable. He's an accomplished musician and I was just lucky enough to be going to school with him at the time I was working on these tracks.

Thanks again to all of you for listening. Planning on some new tracks later this year!
