Album Info

Release Date: 2014

Label: Completely Gone Recordings

Collection of rough demos and taped rehearsals, from December of 2003 to January & February of 2004. These tracks were recorded in preperation for what became the 2006 "Pirouette" album (from Breathing Room Records). This features the original 1995-1996 line-up of: Denis Samoree, Josh McCurdy & Jeff Hassett.

This recording was passed out to folks that the band was interested in working with at the time... And, as with the previous "My Shallow Honey" album, this recording also became lost. However, Jeff Hassett located a perfect copy of the masters, from his personal archives, which is what you have here.
