Shuteye Unison - Buy Now

Daniel Mckenzie (vocals/guitar) and Jon Fee (bass/vocals) officially linked up with Jake Krohn (drums) in early 2007 when he signed on to help fulfill several outstanding live obligations for their then current band, The Rum Diary (on hiatus). Soon after the three started to write and record together as a musical outlet from each of their other concurrent projects; Daniel (Built for the Sea), Jon (Mijuanito) and Jake (The Action Design). One year later they emerged with a handful of songs they could not deny and so Shuteye Unison was born.

This release was self recorded and mixed with Pall Jenkins (Blackheart Procession, Three Mile Pilot) at SDRL. Each song represents its own symbiotic dance between soaring guitars, melodic bass lines, heavy drums, and catchy hypnotic vocals.

“Shuteye Unison’s debut culminates into an intensely gratifying listen”
- West Coast Performer

“Cool, catchy, thought provoking stuff for intelligent listeners. Recommended.”
- Babysue.com

“This is a successful, seemingly effortless debut from three veteran Northwest indie rockers.”
- 30music.com

“...intricate, dreamy post-rock, much to the side of Pinback, Silversun Pickups and other such contemporaries.”
- The Deli Magazine

Carcrashlander - Buy Now

Now available on iTunes! A collection of solo work from Cory Gray (aka Carcrashlander) of the highly charged and self destructive pianocore outfit, The Desert City Soundtrack. Clever unconventional bottom-of-the-bottle pop. Piano driven songs peppered with a charming array of instruments and covered with sexy male "pillow talk" vocals. Recorded over the past couple of years in various countries, cities, towns, basements and bedrooms. So damn good it's our first release! 12 songs total.

Definitely a must have for fans of rainy days, stiff drinks, antiques, outdoor wanderings, late nights, long drives, and watching the sunrise.

“…one of the most sustainable records of the year”
- Performer Magazine

“Carcrashlander will instantly whisk you away into soundscapes of solitude and will paint rural backdrops in your mind.”
- AMP Magazine

“...this album is really, really good.”
- Glide Magazine

“Top pick. Recommended.”
- Babysue.com

“…promises to be one of ’08’s best local offerings.”
- The Portland Tribune

“As opposed to musicians who can simply play, Cory can write well-crafted pop songs too and I have to say, this debut full-length is full of them.”
- Daggerzine
