At the beginning of this year, my band Say No More Tongues released the album “Endless” on Amazon. I posted about its release here then, and since it is now being released again for FREE, I will do so again!
Say No More Tongues isn’t exactly music in the strictest form of the word. We are a little bit of noise, lo-fi, a bit of classical, and mostly improvization. The group consists of my wife and I, and duties are split between the two of us. She graduation with a 3.975 GPA in music performance for viola at MTSU, and … I’m just a guy who likes to tinker with things. Her insane knowledge of music theory, and my absolute lack creates a weird tug-of-war in all of our music. Every release is intent on having a wholly unique sound from previous work, and this album is no different.
This album is probably good for rainy days, or when you’re in the mood for something creepy and lo-fi. We used a beat-up Fender American Stratocaster, a flute, a korg kaoss pad, and a bit of spoken word thrown in here and there. We tried quite a few things that we haven’t done before, and had lots of fun recording it. Yeah, it’s lo-fi noisy weird stuff, but at least we had fun! The production values may not be as epic as such stars like Lady Gaga or Justin Timberlake, but this is an album I like to listen to.
In other news, ENDLESS is our last album as “Say No More Tongues”. I feel that it’s time to shorten it! From now on, it will be SNMT. You see, this way, it can mean various things like “Satanic Noise-Music Troupe” or “Sadly, Nobody Makes Tacos”. All of the links should still be the same, although I suppose the last.fm page for our new releases will be different since it’s now SNMT instead of Say No More Tongues.
As 2009 is now half-way over I once again feel motivated to get up and do something. Ideas are floating around, and songs may be recorded soon. All I can really say now is to expect to hear Hatsune Miku vocaloid (vocal synthesizer) in some of our songs. Everyone makes dance or polka songs with that, but I want to make this kind! Whatever this…is.
