So folks. Some Spam for ye.

My band, The Hanged Man & The Groovy Gloom are putting up our new record for free download at http://www.thehangedman.bandcamp.com.

It's largely instrumental jazz/fusion/rock/whatever. There are epic bits. You can stream it here.

[soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/thehangedman/sets/new-hanged-man-the-groovy/s-H4DRG[/soundcloud]

If ye like it, ye might share it around? We're a D.I.Y. oriented bunch, and we've put some effort into putting this one together. We're not demanding anything, or providing any loops to jump through for the download, but a 'Like' on Facebook or a share here or there makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside.

It's not technically out until tomorrow, but... y'know, for the ILFer's. Shhh. :ewok:

Links to whatnots in my signature, for interested parties.

Awesome! Thanks dudes. I realize three tracks over 34 minutes is somewhat of a commitment, and it may not be to everyone's tastes, I really appreciate it! I know this place gets a lot of these kinda posts, I hope mine doesn't cause another roll of the eyes.

:group:

I respect the opinions around here (as they have led me to some awesome things) so that means a bunch. We like it. We hope it's a grower.

No plans for an LP yet, no label, not a whole lot of money (less since I arrived here) , but we're doing a short run of handmade CD nonsense, all environmentally friendly and whatnot (our ambitions are to junk up your collection, not the planet).

Below is random trivia that could possibly be a waste of a small amount of your time.

NSFW: show
Tommy from the band recorded the whole thing in the house where our piano player and I live, the band in the the living room, the tiny tranny amp I was playing through stuffed in a djembe case with some blankets and an SM57, half stack in the kitchen, seventeen billion microphones and a Zoom R-16 kind of nonsense. It was fun. It's been done for about a month, just been working on the artwork and battling between ourselves over silly details.


We totally admit to ripping off 'Lowrider' for part of the third movement of the second song. We claim no authorship of that melody, but it makes us smile, and that section is called The Lebowski Movement, and it is among my favorite things to play.

We're working on a winter EP, which may or may not be based around doom, and taking the songs we have here to the live stage. Hopefully we'll get some recordings of that , since I tend to dig performances more than studio work. I put a few hidden rehearsal tapes in the download since that kind of adequately explains what I mean. The songs generally change a huge amount each time we play them also.


Achtane, D.o.S., Misc 1600, I only hope 'tis not a disappointment.

Derelict78,MaxMaps, kbithecrowing, I really appreciate the response. Thanks again!

Had your album on repeat at work yesterday, some very funky stuff! Put me on the pre-order list for when the CD version comes out.

Still haven't listened to the record.

And to be perfectly honest, it's because I'm trying to create an ideal listening environment before i put it on.

If you bring me down, I'm going to go all ELO-to-Springsteen on you.

I'm loving this track. Downloading the entire release now. Will have more things to say once I have enough of a chance to listen in the near future.

Really though, this really put a smile on my face. The atmosphere is fantastic; It's what jazz/fusion is supposed to be. Not noodley white guys shredding over jazz chords.
