{"product_id":"deathbird-earth-objective-consciousness-cassette","title":"Deathbird Earth - Objective Consciousness (CASSETTE)","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\"Objective Consciousness\" is the science fiction themed debut album from Philadelphia duo Deathbird Earth on pro printed cassette from SRA Records\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003e'Objective Consciousness' is the debut album from Deathbird Earth, a 2 piece band based in the city of Philadelphia on the planet of Earth. Deathbird Earth's sound tends to eschew typical genre classification but is made from a mix of heavy drums and distorted bass layered with keyboard sounds that may or may not be lifted from your favorite classic science fiction films. The album is available from SRA Records on translucent 'black ice' vinyl, CD and tape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Objective Consciousness' documents the first year of Deathbird Earth's time as a band; recording started exactly one year to the day after the band's first practice. BJ (8 String Bass, Synthesizers, Vocals) and Dave (Drums, Percussion) have spent many years playing in various bands (Hulk Smash, Dialer, Psychic Teens, Gholas), but 'Objective Consciousness' finds them making music together for the first time. Together they have created a sound that is sometimes proggy, sometimes noisy and sometimes hypnotic by blending heavy drums and bass with a wall of synthesizers topped off with shouted vocals and lots of delay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album was recorded at Red Planet and features more collaborators than actual band members. On Side A, two tracks were born out of full-blown collaborative sessions. 'Mission: Planet-Y' was recorded with experimental duo Planet-Y which features Yanni Papadopoulos (Stinking Lizaveta) and 'Mission: Nick Millevoi' was laid down with guitar virtuoso extraordinaire Nick Millevoi (Basic, Many Arms, Desertion Trio). Both sessions yielded a full 40 minutes worth of improved music and will each be released on limited LPs and cassettes (available via SRA Records!). The second side of the album features 4 tracks that play out as one song. Alex Smith (Alexoteric) provides the album's titular line in his poem that appears during 'Time II.' In addition, Dan Pisarcik (Occurian) contributes bass and guitar on 'Mission: Time' and Leah Basarab (Vidrozhena, Rainbow Crimes) plays cello on 'Time III'.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eTake My Blood\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eChristchurch 281\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMission: Planet-Y\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDead Hands\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eResources 2.0\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMission: Nick Millevoi\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTime I\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTime II\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMission: Time\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTime III\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRA Records\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternative\/Punk\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39:43 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 04\/03\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 061979006349\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"SRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383048945913,"sku":"SRA063C","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/SRA063C.jpg?v=1770129074","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/deathbird-earth-objective-consciousness-cassette","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
