BLASTING TROUT OVERBITE
YES.
the final hurrah before graduation. we were not nearly as prolific our final year, but we rallied our troops during the final weeks to produce our pseudo (considering that our next album, the currently in progress but almost finished gumball machine pt. 1 is turning out amazingly well, and things are looking up for the collective's musical endeavours) swansong. every track was recorded on four-track.
01 i hung out with meat
beefed-up version. this recording dates back to 2004.02 swarms of strange stinging insects
touches on the slight muppet theme of this album by featuring a deranged vocal performance by arthur03 she's my you
april's fiery vocal debut on a blasting trout overbite record.04 my invisible head brain
another older song we fleshed out. the second old recording on this mostly new album.05 hogbat
this song turned out better than anyone's expectations, thanks to foodbag's trombone, arthur's shambolically perfect drums, dan's enthusiastic vocals and jittery guitar chords, matt's frenzied lead guitar, and april's serenely melodic singing. an instant classic.06 weasels in
almost a new genre of blasting trout song, concocted by matt and arthur. faux metal with surprising chops.08 the one's for pie
entirely plasket-crafted song is a delightfully t. rex-ish romp.09 not b, not c
april takes vocal duty on this one too.10 ambrosian wine
a completely mad matt and arthur composition, this one features a large group of backing vocalists and an almost rockabilly chorus.11 saying goodbye to the muppets
music by april, lyrics by arthur, vocals by everyone.lineup: april, arthur, dan, matt
with: foodbag, neil, plasket
bonus outtakes!
hogbat (alternate mix)
original mix of "hogbat". later, april decided to redo the vocals, and dan made a better mix of it, so that's the version on the album.grandpadog
heard only by dan until now, this was a demo of a song based on a dream he had about a half hobo/half caterpillar named Grandpadog.hogbat (again)
