Satellite
Sylvedic
2008
A single raindrop amidst a deluge, contributing the smallest part to a resounding cacophony, indifferent, yet equally important to the environment it exists in. Perhaps not the most orthodox way of introducing a new release, but in this case we find it to be an apt description for Satellite's first full-length release, presented in glorious stereophonic sound and available exclusively here, from us. We recorded this album in July 2007 in various outdoor locations throughout New York's Hudson River Valley - the air was thick with humidity and thunder rolled in the distance, creating low, symphonic rumbles amidst a sea of singing insects - and somewhere between the cicadas and the ozone we attempted to add our own voices, mixing prepared guitars and electronics, cutting through the heat with our own pianissimo voices, indifferent yet important as the rain began to fall. Finally, after a considerable time of mixing, mastering and touring, we present this album to the public in a limited edition pressing of 25 hand-assembled packages, complete with matching black discs. Come join us in the infinite as we invite you to drift away with us, melting into the night to sing our songs once more amidst the deluge of indifference. All for $10, no less!
