A Caffinated Compilation

A series of recordings of friends from the city of Chicago in the year 2010. It is quite an eclectic collection of music, though we are quite an eclectic group of friends.

We handmade a limited number of physical copies of this compilation that were given away at the PRF BBQ Winter Cauldron Series 2011 February 5th, 2011 at the Metropolis Coffee Roasting Garage in Chicago. Yes, Chris Hall got the single misprint.

Mayor For Life Sinking Feeling/Snowmobiling 7 Inch

It took approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes for the Titanic to sink after colliding with an iceberg. It took approximately 3,780 hours between the time we began recording these two songs and the time we finished working on them. But to be fair, we weren't working on them during that whole period of time, and also, the time spent working on these songs was much more enjoyable than what we imagine the time spent sinking into the ocean aboard the Titanic was like, so we weren't in that much of a hurry.

Whales s/t

Chicago four-piece rock band Whales experiments with a heady mix of noise, rock, and melody. Their music is firmly rooted in jagged dissonance and rock dynamics, while sculpting towers of spaced-out sonics that wrap themselves around indelible melodies. No bullshit. No conceit. Serve the song. Noisy heaven-rock. Chicago's finest. est 2009.
