I'm back!

Still hard at work on the album. I haven't put out new content until now, and I apologize for that. I don't wish to upload anything anymore unless I feel it's finished. I spent about my first year of work on this album figuring out what I wanted to do and how to sample, and I'm pretty comfortable with what my goal is for my sound now. I'll leave up my older tracks, but the only things currently uploaded (prior to the uploading date of this track) that're going on the album are this and Princess Anesthesia. I Love My Dolls too, but only if I can figure out how to rework it. I'm not too proud of the version I have uploaded, I feel like I mistreated it.

I have plenty of unfinished tracks laying in storage that I wish to finish, but I ended up focusing most of my time on this one in particular due to how massive I felt it would end up being. After going for so long without a new track, I thought it'd be appropriate to come back with a big entry. I may tweak the track a little (nothing more than adding another layer or sample for decoration if I find something I like) by the time the album is done. But... for now, I feel this track is finished.

Hope everyone enjoys! Love y'all!

Dead Battery Company

Psychedelic and uplifting music made entirely with samples from 80's, 90's and 2000's alternative, post-grunge, pop, adult contemporary, new age, sound effect and metal bargain bin CDs.

In the works of a 3 disc concept album. It will be a while before it's done!

For anyone else who enjoys sample hunting, a special something will be given to anyone who can newly identify something sampled on the profile! You will get to be added to the SAMPLE DETECTIVES wall, proving you were the first to have found a sample on one of the tracks! Send a PM with the sampled artist's and song's name, specify the song on which said sample was used, and it'll be done! Something extra, as a bonus, may be included, if interested!

All artwork is hand drawn, in-house, unless otherwise stated. Colouring for said artwork is done with various mediums, from simple digital paint buckets, to in-house photography, as well as editing in-house scans of various CD booklets and insert artworks. All music is stringed together with samples pulled directly from CD rips of pre-existing albums from other musicians or artists, typically purchased from record store bargain bins, flea markets, thrift stores, or freely obtained from "discarded" means, such as trash bins or abandoned CD crates left for disposal from various retailers and sellers; places a CD may end up after reaching the end of its course in life, having become lost, forgotten, or no longer wanted. With this, the lost, forgotten, or no longer wanted albums are then sampled in specific segments, arranged into new musical pieces, and given a new life, in the form of an entirely new composition. All of the samples used are transformed into their own separate creations with a completely different sound, mood and/or compositional form and context than that of their original sources. No intentions are to be made in pulling away the respective audiences of the musicians or artists sampled, nor is there any intention in defaming them or discrediting them for the work they've done.

This project has actively been at work since May of 2014!
