Album Info

Release Date: 1995

Label: Not On Label

Okara's self-released nine-song demo tape. Recording of some of the tracks on this release started when the band was still a four-piece under the name Paincage. Because of issues while recording, Sean left the band part-way through.

Only around 100 copies were made.

Comes with a one-sided, three-pane,l fold-out j-card printed on generic white paper. The front cover only has the band's name printed on it; cover artwork was added to the blank space with some kind of sponge-like stamp in various colors and designs. The j-card panels contain lyrics, credits, and recording information. On the blank back side of the j-card, the band's contact info is handwritten in pen. Includes blank label stickers. Consumer blank cassettes have two of the label stickers applied and the band's name is handwritten on the A-side label.

Recorded in January of 1995, live to one track in the basement of 5 Arlington. The guitar tone was achieved using cheap headphones from a Greyhound bus as a microphone. The four-track was temperamental and the tape got stuck, so the vocals were delayed (and were finished off in Adam's bathroom).
