This is most certainly never going to get finished, but it's still worth hearing, I think. Originally, this was 25 minutes, but it has been edited down to the best bits- cohesive bits. This is also a bit of a teaser, because we have a new EP coming out very very soon; just as soon as we are comfortable with the lyrics and sound of it. We have yet to title it, but it's can be heard in a largely instrumental and roughly mixed state on the Orange Door Studios SoundCloud. But, as it is unfinished on there, it is not indicative of the final product. I can assure you, however, that it is a bigger and far more ambitious effort compared to our 2012 self-titled EP. It is, or at least was intended, to be a follow-up, so to speak. I can say, with utmost certainty, that it is just as experimental, noisy, punky, and abstract as the EP, but not nearly as Lo-Fi.

Back to the track, now. It was written by experimenting with one of the many alternate tunings used by the band American Football. I would like to draw attention to the drum sound, especially, because of the amount of effort and tweaking that went into the position of gobos and mics. I would also like to draw attention to the film "Track of The Moon Beast," which is where I've found the still image used for this upload. Special thanks to Evan Beuckert who let us in his studio, while he left, to record this.

Thanks for listening, and putting up with our lack of output.

Just a Little bit of Jam

On June 22 2012 the Ford Taurus Sound sessions was boiled down to a seven minute EP, which garnered unanimous praise from its six downloaders on MediaFire. 

The band name was taken, jokingly, from a line in the song "Blunt Cruisin" by Asher Roth.

The album was recorded straight into Audacity, using the built-in microphone on a MacBook . The vocals were done by placing the laptop near a pair of speakers, then plugging a synth into the speaker and plugging a Shure SM58 into the synth.

Personnel
        -Kyle Albrecht (guitar and production)
        -Dallas Moore (synth, bass, drums and mixing)
        -Drayden Hallgren (synth, sounds, vocals and mixing)
        -Isaiah Franklin (drums, vocals)

The Ford Taurus Sound (Full Album)

The opening track on the Ford Taurus EP. 

FUN FACT- The guitar was tuned to DADGAD.

Personnel
        -Isaiah Franklin (screams and percussion)
        -Dallas Moore (drums)
        -Kyle Albrecht (guitar)

What's He Got? Boogie Fever

Orignally titled "Introduction," this song was chosen as a forerunner to Corrupted CD. This was the 2nd track the Taurus ever recorded.

FUN FACT- The whining feedbacky noise at the end of the track is actually a recorder segueing into feedback and the next song.

Personnel
         -Kyle Albrecht (guitar and feedback)
         -Dallas Moore (fart)
         -Drayden Hallgren (Zippo, bong sounds and recorder)

Corrupted CD (Part1)

The most well-known Ford Taurus track. Despite what Dallas says, this song is in  the key of F major.

FUN FACT- This song was inspired by The Rolling Stones song Stray Cat Blues. 

BONUS FUN FACT- while Dallas was recording bass on the synth, Drayden and Kyle removed their shirts in an attempt to make Dallas mess up.

Personnel
          -Kyle Albrecht (guitar)
          -Dallas Moore (bass, keys and mixing)
          -Drayden Hallgren (drumsticks and recorder)

Corrupted CD (Part 2)

The most originally titled peice from the album. A waltz through time.

FUN FACT- The stomping sound is a octave-downed Isaiah hitting an SM58.

Personnel
       -Kyle Albrecht (Guitar)
       -Isaiah Franklin (stomp)

Psych Song (A True Sailor's Waltz)

The worst song on the EP.

There's no fun fact because this song isn't fun.

Personnel
        -Kyle Albrecht (guitar)
        -Drayden Hallgren (synth)

(New Song)

Just random saw wave notes.

FUN FACT- The left/right panning was done using the wah wah function in Audacity. This was not the intended effect, however it sounds far better than the band could've hoped for.

This Is Just Noise

Arguably the most complete song on the EP.

FUN FACT- This is the only Ford Taurus Sound song with lyrics. The words were all made up on the spot by Drayden (ohhhhhhhhhh dooooooooown the traaaaaaack).
