About this project
How we got here.
TEAM formed 18 months ago after the break up of our last project, Achilles Heel. We decided that we wanted to make music that reflected the kind of music that we love and listen to. The more music we wrote and the better we got, the more we realized that we needed to record.
We got some funds together and found a small New Paltz studio run by Gary Levitt. Over a year and three recording sessions later, we finally have enough material to release a proper LP.
Our most recent round of recording was less than a month ago, in October. We booked Gary and headed up to New Paltz for a long weekend, and recorded three new songs. Just like the previous recording sessions, we paid for this one out pocket.
Where we are.
It's been a dream of ours to professionally press and release our music. But after this latest round of recording, our funds are completely depleted. With all the recorded material in place and our good friend Jordan working on album artwork, we're closer than ever to realizing our goal: for $600 we can get 300 copies of our music pressed with artwork for release. We have everything in place, we just need the capital to make it happen.
Then we found out about kickstarter. We hope that we've put together some incentives that will get you excited to donate. We can release this album, we just need your help.
