/!\ EDIT: Blood Fete is free until the 7th of August! /!\

ON UBIKTUNE!

Here's a video!






Blood Fete is a celebration of surrender by way of self-denial and self-sacrifice. "It's the Bloodiest party!"

    Those who enjoy chip music, avant-pop, or early progressive rock should find something to enjoy here. There's a little dubby section somewhere too!

    Note: This summer our youth group is heading up to New Orleans for an annual event called 'Feed the Multitudes' where thousands of groceries and shoes are handed out to those in need. It's a little more expensive than usual this year due to a few changes.

    All profit made on this record will be used for transportation, food, and shelter on the trip. It will also make up the difference for the kids who can't afford to come.

    (If there's anything left over I'm using it to fix this huge crack in my windshield. Surprised I haven't been pulled over yet...)

Bought this without previewing or seeing anyone else's comments.

Put it on my iPod and listened on my way towards a very very long day at work at 7am.

I am thoroughly pleased. smile

Ha! That's what I was going for. I think it's a reaction of the manic feeling of my last release... I wanted to stay on one simple 4/4 progression and kind of chill.  My only regret is not turning up the King Tubby-ish drums near the end. Glad you enjoyed it.

PS - EVERYONE BUY THIS.
