Ephemera – Recalculating

Quotes

“Ambitious and witty from the track-name upwards, this latest track from US trio Recalculating combines some fairly obvious influences in the progress of creating something pretty unique. The humorously named ‘I Just Googled Myself’ has an effortless feel to it, almost scrappy but organised.” Mix It All Up, November 2018

“Their music pays tribute to the likes of Television when they played on CBGB’s dirty stage.” Boro Mag, May 2018

#otherpeoplessettings at Astoria Soundworks: Room 7’s Fender 4×12 was on the fritz so I had to use the Marshall, which isn’t Sean and Michael’s favorite thing, especially when I practice hammer-ons and pull-offs like I think I’m Eddie Freakin’ Van Halen; at any rate, ultra gain channel, gain maxed out with treble and bass turned to 10 and no middle whatsoever…verdict: METAL, of the Norwegian Death variety…

#otherpeoplessettings at Astoria Soundworks: Fender DeVille, clean channel with emphasis on bass and middle, medium presence and reverb, consensus: Garage Rock Roar!

#otherpeoplessettings at Astoria Soundworks; same room 7 Fender Deville, this time lots of treble on the middle “drive” channel with zero reverb or presence: honestly, a little bit of a headscratcher, though not at all bad sounding…the Paw Patrol beer conveyance is ours.
