The Hunters is an ep that I, Brian Evans, made with my
friend Janessa. We had played in a number of bands
together before. Neither of us had been deeply
involved in any particular projects for awhile and had
been toying around with songs on our own. I had
recorded some demos and while we were hanging out one
evening I had her listen to them and she added vocals
to three of them. Listening to the ep you can likely
tell that tracks 1,3, and 5 have a different sound and
feel from tracks 2 and 4. Janessa brought tracks 2 and
4 over and we recorded them with my additions.
I dont think either of us necessarily intended for the
songs to go together, but as no further songs and no
other projects materialized for quite some time, we
decided to put them together as a little ep, which is
what you have here.
The two songs that Janessa was the primary writer for
made their way onto a 7 inch lathe cut record that
was released by the now dormant Sage Canyon label. I
still have some copies if anyone is interested; I can
be reached at < sloum AT rawtext.club >.
If I recall correctly th e album was recorded with a
Seagull 6-string acoustic-electric guitar, a Squire
Cyclone electric guitar, a cheap store brand mandolin,
a shruti box I got on ebay, and a single condenser
microphone. I believe the guitars went direct into the
audio interface and effects were mostly added in the
recording program with the exception of some delay and
reverb pedals for the electric guitar. The last track
was likely the only one to use a mic'ed guitar; which
would have run through a small Vox practice amp.
