The Hunters is an ep that I, Brian Evans, made with my

friend Janessa. We had played in a number of bands

together before. Neither of us had been deeply

involved in any particular projects for awhile and had

been toying around with songs on our own. I had

recorded some demos and while we were hanging out one

evening I had her listen to them and she added vocals

to three of them. Listening to the ep you can likely

tell that tracks 1,3, and 5 have a different sound and

feel from tracks 2 and 4. Janessa brought tracks 2 and

4 over and we recorded them with my additions.

I dont think either of us necessarily intended for the

songs to go together, but as no further songs and no

other projects materialized for quite some time, we

decided to put them together as a little ep, which is

what you have here.

The two songs that Janessa was the primary writer for

made their way onto a 7 inch lathe cut record that

was released by the now dormant Sage Canyon label. I

still have some copies if anyone is interested; I can

be reached at < sloum AT rawtext.club >.

If I recall correctly th e album was recorded with a

Seagull 6-string acoustic-electric guitar, a Squire

Cyclone electric guitar, a cheap store brand mandolin,

a shruti box I got on ebay, and a single condenser

microphone. I believe the guitars went direct into the

audio interface and effects were mostly added in the

recording program with the exception of some delay and

reverb pedals for the electric guitar. The last track

was likely the only one to use a mic'ed guitar; which

would have run through a small Vox practice amp.
