I understand that after Sebasco, Mahoney, Weller and the avid Chuze, coming out of the blue saying "Guess what? I made a record!" sounds very cheeky, but just deal with it people, I've had this thing out for a month now and i haven't told nearly anybody.
Ok, a Portuguese independent label has decided to release my first collection of songs on cassette tape. It has been recorded in my bedroom with a digital recorder and it's basically just me and the acoustic guitar.
I didn't mean to release it in the biginning, I just decided to write four songs a month, record them in a hour and never go back to those songs again. It was more of a songwriting training than a real record project. But I sent the first two bunches of songs to the owner of the label in Portugal and apparently he thought they had some dignity and liked the home-made, "basement tape" feel, so he decided to release the recordings under his label.
There's no mixing, no editing, no anything, it's just as it came. I recommend you to use headphones because it sounds even shittier thru pc speakers. There's a hotfile link here at the label's bandcamp page, you can get the mp3s for free.
bandcamp: cakesandtapes.bandcamp.com/album/the-two-eps
label website: cakesandtapes.com/
Beside the free mp3 edition, there's also a limited number of tapes in a hand-made package. I don't expect you to buy a copy but if you like the music and wanna support, please know that no one is making any money and every penny earned will be used to buy more tapes for the future releases; but really don't make a big deal of it because comments, critics and ratings are far more important to me. Wanna know what you people think of it and thank you for listening.
