It's out! The Root Cellar Sessions is out wherever you stream or download music! Links in the comments! Today is Bandcamp Friday, so IF you purchase a digital version of the album or any of the tracks today from Bandcamp, they forego their cut and all proceeds go to the artist. But seriously, if you're interested, just check it out wherever you stream/download music (all the major outlets should have it). We'd really love for you to hear it.

Cheers!

Some more info (for anyone interested):
Back in 2015, Witch Tree put together an 8-song demo so venues and bands could hear what we sounded like when working on booking shows.

We originally planned to re-record all these tracks for our first proper release but as our style evolved it felt more difficult to put together a cohesive package of the songs we had ready to go. We decided to pick some of the songs from the demo tracks that still accurately represented how we played them live and had Danny Anton Productions remix and remaster them. Danny really went above and beyond with refining the demo tracks we gave him and what we've ended up with is a great sounding EP of five songs.

The remaining three songs from the demo will be re-recorded and included on our forthcoming LP, Be a Great Sea.

This is the single to the Witch Tree EP I recently finished post production on! You can listen here for free, or download for $1.

For those of you that know a little about audio engineering, the drums were captured with only a kick drum mic, and a single overhead. Getting the drums to sound like they do here was a challenge, but a rewarding one.

The single for Witch Tree’s forthcoming EP is here!

Give their new single a listen, and if you like it give their original post a like, and their page a follow. There is more content soon to come!

The post production work on the EP this single is from turned out to be time consuming, as the capture of the songs was not originally intended to serve as the final versions, but I am proud of the results!

Okay, here's the scoop. We're releasing our single Damn Well from our forthcoming EP, The Root Cellar Sessions on Bandcamp! I'll include the link to our Bandcamp page in the comments below. We'd love it if you would go stream it and/or download it! It's official release date is tomorrow, Friday, October 7th (Bandcamp Friday!), but the release should be live now.

We hope you enjoy the track! Please feel free to share the Bandcamp link with others who might like it. Thanks for all your support thus far. It feels like a long road (because it was!) getting recorded music out to you all and we're beyond thrilled that it's finally happening! Cheers!

Here's some more info (for those who are still reading!): Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday. This is a day that happens each month when Bandcamp forgoes their cut of music sales and all proceeds go to the artist. Tomorrow, we are releasing the single Damn Well from our forthcoming EP, The Root Cellar Sessions. Feel free to stream the track and download it today if you've got other stuff going on tomorrow. We're more interested in the popularity of Bandcamp Friday and the buzz it creates than the extra percentage we'd get of sales. But if you're able, we will make a bit more off downloads tomorrow. We're releasing this single exclusively on Bandcamp, but when the whole EP debuts next month (aiming for Friday, November 4th), it will be available on all the usual platforms (streaming and downloadable).

This past week (September 22nd - 24th), I had the privilege of record engineering the foundational elements of Minneapolis based band Witch Tree’s forthcoming full length album.

Some attention was given to guitar and vocals, but the primary focus was capturing all the needed bass and drum takes. Although, the bass guitar was recorded directly into an interface, the percussive elements were given plenty of room to breath thanks to the hospitality of Fieldstone Farm. Their refurbished one room schoolhouse was the perfect live room for capturing massive sounding drums!

Stay tuned for updates!

Running sound for Rosy and the Rivets!

Running sound at The Bend for Guitars For Vets!

I’m excited and honored to be a part of this!

This collection of 5 songs is really solid material - despite being from further back in the band’s catalogue. Stay tuned!

COMING SOON!

Until our long-gestating first LP is recorded later this year, we offer this EP, The Root Cellar Sessions, as a document of our early material, featuring our original lineup of James Bourne; Eric Edevold; Chad Knutson; and Tony Martin, recorded at our practice space (The Root Cellar), engineered by Chad Knutson, with additional production and mixing/mastering by Daniel Wiebe of Danny Anton Productions (https://instagram.com/danny_anton_productions). Available where you stream and download music very soon!

This EP will also be included in deluxe editions of our forthcoming LP, Be a Great Sea, which includes our current bass player, Matt Hicks, and will be recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Danny Anton Productions this autumn.
