Release Date: 2017

Label: Hoarse Spirit

Volume 2, the second in the AA CD-R Series, was originally comprised of five songs. This updated version adds two recently mixed pieces from the same recording session: "Weight of Words" & "Hush", both of which are previously unreleased. The expanded 7-track version also includes 8 bonus tracks of demos and alternative mixes. All the material here was recorded on and off in Arabia, Helsinki, May 2005 – April 2006.

Bonus tracks:

– Demos:
"Aircrash" was originally made as this instrumental version for a short film in 2002. Recorded at Roy's high school in Laajasalo, Helsinki. "Crocodile Teeth" was recorded to Minidisc in Emily's bedroom. "I Sway" was recorded in the same house, at the kitchen table, to four-track.

– Raw Power Versions:
"I Sway" is an outtake from the Arabia Sessions, as is "Hush" – an earlier recording of this track from December 2005. "Aircrash" is made from the same take as the Volume 2 version. These three songs are presented here in raw, plainly compressed form.

– New mixes from March 2016 of "Not A Whisper" and "Turned" from the Arabia Sessions.
