800 Club - QQ All-Star
QQ! I've got a new album out March 12, but since tomorrow is bandcamp Friday, I thought I'd get it out early to the fine folks.
Here are two songs in 5.1 as promo/samples. Some may recall the 'bomb cyclone' storm March 12, 2019. Here in Colorado it knocked out power for days. I was unprepared and mostly ate canned food in the dark and wrote songs. Across the street, the houses never lost power. I could see the neighbors over there being all warm and happy, and it started an idea for a rock opera/concept album.
Then March 12, 2020 comes around and it happens to be the first day of lockdown. Us vs Them becomes the reality. We see a division of ethics, safety, access, power, race, wealth, etc. The house across the street faced eviction. I wrote a bunch of songs within this framework, all imagined as coming from two very different sides of the same street. After some time of one side having no power, the other side decides to share, which sparks a fire that burns down all the houses.
Compared to the other albums I've been putting out, this has more layered vocals, more synth, less guitars, and is anchored by bass guitar. The 5.1 mix uses the rear speakers heavily.
The 14 song album will also come with 8 of the songs mixed instrumentally. As before, delivered via bandcamp, email, and google drive link. This time I recorded and mixed in 96k so the FLAC files are 96k as well.

or it could also be an opportunity to get the younger crowd hooked on surround and expand their interests into this more immersive world of ours.
