News: sleepmakeswaves are funding their second album

The story of the project 

It was never supposed to come this far... 

Four guys who shared a love of heavy riffs, pretty soundscapes and delay pedals started jamming in a garage in 2007. 

Seven years later and sleepmakeswaves have played countless shows across three continents, released several critically acclaimed records, been asked to do a Reddit AMA, been given the opportunity to play with some of our favourite and inspirational artists, been nominated in the 2012 ARIA Awards and, most importantly, connected with tens of thousands of people around the world.

Where to next?

Well, it's been a solid three years of domestic and international touring off the back of our debut album, including SXSW in Austin, dunk! festival in Belgium, driving around Australia enough times to make it to the moon and back, supporting 65daysofstatic on a marathon 37-date tour of Europe, supporting Aussie prog heroes Karnivool (twice!) and intimate shows ranging everywhere from Paris to New York to Warsaw to London to Barcelona to Budapest. We realised it's about time to settle down and start putting all of these experiences and all this growth down on record.

A second album. One that celebrates our passion for the road, our development as musicians and what we've seen of the world through playing music. The sounds on this album are inspired in no small way by our love of live performance. With every show we've played we have gained an appreciation for the powerful connection we can achieve with our audience, even without the use of lyrics. We have been humbled by the passion of our fans, feeling the energy we deliver is always reciprocated. On this album we want to tap into this.

How the funds will be used

A lot goes into the full release of an album. There's the recording and mixing, and then mastering on top of that. Then artwork, manufacturing, distribution and publicity. The four of us, the members of sleepmakeswaves, will all be pitching in our own personal funds significantly in order to make this record a reality. The $25,000 figure that we are asking for is a partial contribution to help us reach the larger total costs for getting this record fully released and ready to listen.

Your funds will only get released to us, from you, if we meet our total goal.

News: Long Distance Calling's project on PledgeMusic

Instrumental-Jam-EP 

As you all know we started to work with Marsen as our singer and will continue on recording vocal tracks for our next record, for which we’re currently writing a lot of new songs. We’re really enjoying the process, but we’re realizing that we have so many ideas that we have to collect and record them. 

This is when we had the idea of recording a LIVE-JAM INSTRUMENTAL EP exclusively for our biggest fans and supporters. We want to lock ourselves in the recording studio for a couple of days and just start playing. And when we say Jam-EP we mean it. This EP will be recorded live, there will be no arranging of the songs, the tracks will be created spontaneously without any preparation, pre-production, etc. Just LDC with its authentic & most intense live energy and back to our instrumental origins additionally with Marsen on synthies, electric sounds and keyboards.

We want to start this project right after our tour through Europe in February 2014. As we are in the lucky position that our last record deal just expired and the new one is only to be signed later this year, we founded our own label “Avoid The Light Records” for this project and will contain full creative power over the whole process. 

The Jam-EP is for our fans that have supported us over the last years and that is why we want to realize this EP together with YOU! It will be a limited exclusive edition with only 500 Vinyls and 1000 Digipack-CD’s available. 

That is how it works: 

If you’re new to pledge, the way it works is, you pay for the production of the music you want to get made, i.e., you buy the record before it’s made, so that it CAN be made! Your contribution will help pay for the studio, mixing and mastering as well as the cover artwork and pressing the CDs and Vinyls. We must reach our target amount until the 25th of February 2014 in order to make this happen. After reaching 100% the money will be withdrawn from your account and we can make this project become reality. We would record the EP in early March and release it in April or May latest.

If we reach our goal we can start realizing our project and be able to record the EP. If we don’t reach our goal there will be no Jam-EP. In this case there will be no costs for YOU. 

Every supporter will receive a download of the EP and exclusive updates of our working process in the studio. So they will be part of the development of our Jam-EP. The EP will only be available on pledgemusic.com and in our Onlineshop. 

All prices are inclusive shipping costs. 

Dearest fans and supporters, it all depends on you! Be part of our project and support us.

LOVE, 

Long Distance Calling
