The Cordials are a Tucson music machine churning out everything from sultry rock to lilting waltzes and, with your help, a new album!
Hi! We're the Cordials! It's so nice to meet you.
We're a relatively young Tucson, AZ rock band putting out our first album. Lucky for you, we've already done most of the work. We finished the recording, mixing and mastering and have completely exhausted our band fund. We need your help to make the final push to print the actual CDs. Because we're very nice and appreciate your contributions, we have a bunch of super cool prizes put together for you.
So many people aside from the four of us have contributed to this awesome album. Craig Schumacher and Chris Schultz at Wavelab Studios tracked the whole thing, Fen Ikner at Delicious Delicious Studios played a handful of auxiliary instruments and mixed AND mastered the dang thing. Marco Rosano added clarinet and his infamous whistle to a track. Ryan Trayte of Saywells Design will create the lovely album art (as soon as you help us with money to pay him!).
We'd like to extend a special thank you to the folks who helped us make our Kickstarter video and accompanying music video: Tom Moore (shooting, directing, editing), Rocky Yosek (lighting, stills, mystery instrumentalist), Rachel Wilson (catering), and Blaine Jordan (cocktail cartooning).
Curious about how we sound? Check out the video; we're plastered all over it. We hope you love it, and please let us know if you have any questions.
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Our risks and challenges are minimal at this point. If we get the money we need, we can print the album. If we don't, we can't. We plan on printing through DiscMasters, a reliable and reputable CD replicator. We've worked with Saywells Design before, on a number of projects, and can't wait to involve them in this one. Between the four of us, we've released dozens of albums and have the experience required to ensure delivery (see other successful Kickstarter projects Cordials members have been party to: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seashellradio/seashell-radio-slick-machine-album-and-us-tour…, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/442522790/silver-thread-trio-trigger-and-scythe-full-length…). We're so confident that we'll be ready to release in January that we're already booking the release party.
