About this project

Oh hi. We're a band called Gunsling Birds and we're recording the follow-up to last year's "Abode of Kings in a Derelict Kingdom." We have the tracking, mixing, and mastering locked down, but we need your help with the cost of printing it to CD. Without your donation, this album will not exist in physical form, and that would be so lamentable! The more money we can get, the cooler we can make the CD, and we're offering all kinds of exclusive bric-a-brac in exchange!

In all honesty, we're working hard to make this the best thing we've released, and it would be tremendously meaningful if you do decide to donate, for any amount!

THANK YOU.

This video was made by our friends and compatriots Aleks Gezentsvey and Eugene Kolb with the help of Kat Spiess and Adam Grass. This Kickstarter would not have been possible without Robin Browne.

Frank and Scott will come to your house and make you dinner. No joke, we are not bad cooks. We'll bring a bottle of decent wine, wear nice clothes, and take our shoes off at the door so as not to track mud into what I can only assume is a beautiful home. We'll even make you whatever dish you want, even if that dish is filet mignon. If you ask nicely, we could serve you like fancy-place waiters with hard-to-pronounce French titles. Not that we're suggesting that. CAVEAT: If you live really far away, e.g. California or Sri Lanka or Germany, it might not be realistic for us to give you this reward. But we're willing to travel an uncertain distance, which we will discuss with you. oh, +all the above non-limited awards.

You get credited on the album as Executive Producer, which you pretty much are at that point. Even though you are chief financier, this does not confer creative input or legal shenanigans, though. Especially if you have bad taste. Also Scott will give you the best handshake of your life. +all the above non-limited awards.
