Had an amazing time shooting this video in Vegas. : )

Well I don’t know how I kept this secret for so long like I did. Been itching to tell you about this for ages. It all started a couple of years ago, I was on a hotel rooftop in São Paulo when I got a phone call from an excited BT, “I think we just started a band” he said on the phone, I remember looking out to the skyline for a few awkward seconds of silence before replying “Yes we did, we started a band’.

It was something that has grown over the past two years, we had no Idea what we were going to sound like and no plan, just a huge love and respect for everything analog and also for our musical heroes, bands like Depeche Mode, Blue Nile, OMD to name just a few.

The whole record was recorded in a basement in Baltimore, a magical place called Analog Land. The studio is owned and  maintained by analog specialist and guru Jeffrey Koepper. The array of vintage synths we had to play with was insane, Arp 2600′s (yes plural), Oberheim’s, SEM’s, System 100′s, Prophet’s, Polaris’s, Moog’s, MS20′s, Jupiter’s, to name a few, piles of floppy disks, step sequencers and a mound of patch cables. BT made most of the snares, kicks by hand. We were in deep. The end result is a record that sounds like it fell out of 1983.

We recorded the whole record WITHOUT a computer, a very tricky and at times stressful task but highly rewarding and it has definitley influenced the sound of the record not just sonicaly but structuraly too.

This is just the beginning, we have major plans this year for All Hail The Silence and we can not wait to take the show on the road.

Hope you enjoy the free download of ‘Looking Glass”, we have another 17 analog diamonds to share with you too.
