It's been a while! We have another blistering collaboration between Ant, returning guest E'tienne Cousineau (former Glass Empires/Autumn Coma) and otherworldly guitarwork from Sam Clements (Sam Clements MUSIC, The Mercurials).
Some say humanity is at a crossroad. I am not sure. I do feel a fire inside. Do I set myself ablaze? Contemplate with us and enjoy the musical soundscapes...

One in blood and one online...
Nowhere to run.
Download my mind, Nuclear sun...
Taken in time,
Uploaded my disposition...
Ready to die."

The Blade - The Flatlander Sessions
Flatlander Audio Recording delivers another incendiary music video/track, with returning FAR vets Christopher Konkle (Jettared, Avenue Sky) on guitar work and E'tienne Cousineau (Glass Empires, Autumn Coma) on vocals. As usual, Ant provides the synthesizers and programming.
We hope to evoke a sense of restlessness and paranoia. Let the song guide you into our delusions, and hopefully get a taste of our madness.
E'tienne did the video production again, and to date is his most impressive effort. Contact [email protected] for rates and openings.

Today we release Rocketships - The Flatlander Sessions Vol. 10 on Facebook. Featuring the talents of TwinTerror Caspa Da Ghost and Silverspork, the song explores ideas of escape and paranoia. Let lose and enjoy the footage.
Just Give In - The Flatlander Sessions Vol. 9
Rayce Ribble (Twitch streamer/Audrey Burne) returns on guitar, bass, and vocals for another FAR Session. This time with a rabble rousing 80s glam metal/synthrock concoction on offering. Ant played drums, keys/samples and did main vocals in verses 1 & 3, while Noah Smith (MPD) took over vox in verse 2 and provided lead guitarwork in the final chorus. Wayne Byrum also provided an incendiary lead.
The song revolves around themse of vampires, and theft of love, life, and blood. Give in to your desires, and seemingly become the vampire.
Thanks for listening!
Zero by Smashing Pumpkins - Far Sessions Vol. 8
For the next cover session, a song from FAR's highschool memories. This song, believe it or not, was creepy and cutting edge upon its release. It definitely impressed back then (and holds up now!). Again, tons of talented musicians from around Michigan came together to help make this cover tune a reality.
Christopher Konkle ( former Avenue Sky ) assumes the role of lead vocals. Joseph Huls ( Torn Away - https://www.facebook.com/tornawayoffi... ) on bass guitar. Don Dobos ( Never the Crash https://www.facebook.com/neverthecrash ) on guitar duty. Playing the role of Jimmy Chamberlin is William Davidson ( Never the Crash https://www.facebook.com/neverthecrash ). As usual, Ant chills on the synths and back up vocals. E'tienne Cousineau provides the direction & editing of video once again!

This release unites Ant on vocals and synth, with Ryan Entrekin (Entrekin Pedals/Charmin Diggs) on bass , Jake Nowosad (The Crushtones) on guitar, and returning FAR contributor Ed Birch (Young Buddy) on drums.
The song explores themes of desperation and suffering, and a sense of identity and salvation born of those struggles. Please enjoy the accompanying footage.
We've got one more release slated for this month! Check our YT account (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwGYidFxulmykCDaxPswoGA) and subscribe, it will be debuting there FIRST!
Ashes to Ashes by Faith No More - The Flatlander Sessions Vol. 6
FAR takes a stab at Patton! Ant is joined by a slew of blazing local players; Eric Bolduc - guitar (Born), E'tienne Cousineau - bass (Pinewhite, Autumn Coma), Matt Montney - guitar (A Silver Lining), Jay Schmitzerle - drums (Absorbed), and Gerard D'Lor - vocals (Second Salem).
They stay true to the original, found on Faith No More's album King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime, while putting a little modern twist on it. Please enjoy! Stay tuned, more to come!
Wizkey Taylor boys n girls!
