FAQ
-
- Between 8 -10% goes to Kickstarter + Amazon for their fundraising services - 2 Weeks of Studio time, Production Costs, Mixing + Mastering = $14,000 - Pressing the album + Artwork = $2,000 alone. - Getting t-shirts, photo books, and other campaign materials made
What we don't make with the Kickstarter we will fund by other means.
-
We will be recording our album at June Audio in Provo Utah. Scott Wiley will engineer.
-
Nate Pyfer will be producing our album. He helped out much with our first record - did all the string arangements, and much of the beauty of that record is thanks to him. He also produced our good friends The Moth & The Flame.
-
We hope to finish the record by June and have it ready for release.
-
The relationship with our label was not what we had hoped it would be, and we made a mutual decision to part ways.
-
A conceptual version of a song called "Save Me" recorded 100% live (sounds 'n all) - that may make it on the final album.
-
Yes. We have over 30 songs we've written over the course of 2 years that we will narrow down to around 10 songs for the full length album.
-
We literally googled "Parlor Hawk Fan" and other terms to find a few loyal fans. We also looked on facebook + Pinterest + Instagram to find a few. Don't be offended if you are not on there. It was completely random and we love you all.
