On Being Nineteen:
"Nineteen's a selfish age and finds one's cares tightly circumscribed..."
"...But I still think that's a pretty fine age. Maybe the best age. You can rock and roll all night, but when the music goes out and the beer wears off, you're able to think. And dream big dreams. The mean Patrol Boy cuts you down to size eventually, and if you start out small, why, there's almost nothing left but the cuffs of your pants when he's done with you."
—Stephen King
'still' was recorded from April 10th, 2013 to February 19th by us in various bedrooms, dens, practice spaces, sheds and living rooms, on floors, coffee tables, and some really odd things to prop a computer on (chess board briefcases book castles etc). It's a relief that it's done. It could be better, and hopefully the next album will be recorded by someone other than us. Unfortunately rent and food are real things.
nouns is:
Tyler Evans- Drums
Michael Hall- Bass
Elgin "Doyle" Venable- Vocals, Guitar
Hunter Clifton Mann- Vocals, Guitar, Synth
This is the first release affiliated with Shed Records, a label started by Michael Plummer and Hunter (nouns guy) in their (our) back yard. Michael built a shed from the ground up and turned it into a wonderful studio and business office for us to kick things off with.
This record is also being put out on tape by Funeral Sounds Records. Thank you so much Mark, for being a wonderful friend.
We'll keep people up to date when the cassettes are ready for purchase. So far, there's no plan for vinyl copies but we're hoping.
