mumble mumble mumble – experimental bass+drums duo

“Video for the song “P2” by MUMBLE MUMBLE MUMBLE.

the ep is an 8-track record. poli played bass and leo played drums.
some friends helped during the two recording sessions (pape and gah) which took place in october 2009 and february 2010.

the ep is also available on 50 handmade CDs with booklet and slipcase; we got 12 left – they’re free.

we definitely wanted to do something low-cost, lo-fi, and most of all something by ourselves. in the past years we’ve made records in different studios with other previous bands but we noticed a lack of “feeling” in the songs. a lack of “feeling at ease” in a studio by entering in a studio you feel the pressure of the money you’re spending and you want to do it as fast as you can. we didn’t want that for mumble mumble mumble. mumble mumble mumble had (and has) to be something direct, real, live. so we borrowed a Zoom recorder (a great microphone and recorder) and placed it in our rehearsing room, pressed “rec” and started to play. after we had those huge WAV files we asked tino paratore if he could mix and master the tracks.

the first half of the EP is made of the tracks P1, P2, P3, P4 – which are the main songs where this project started. the title “P1” means that it’s the first song we wrote, “P2″ was the second, and so on… A1 is an ambient improvised track, A2 is another ambient improvised track with gah on vocals. T1 is an improvised groove, we liked it and put it on the EP.”

bandcamp album of the day – my bedroom floor by teen daze

“My Bedroom Floor is a collection of songs that were written between January and April 2010. It was in the process of writing these songs, that I also wrote the 8 songs that would later appear on Four More Years. Those 8 songs were intended to be a part of this record, which I was recording for a different project of mine, when the whole Teen Daze thing took off.

I knew I wanted to do something special for NYE this year. New Years Eve and Dance music have always been synonymous for me, and for the last few years, I’ve put together a DJ mix, or a released a new track in honor of the new year. This year, I wanted to share these 13 tracks that have been sitting on my computer, waiting to be danced to.

As you can tell, there’s a bit of a difference between Four More Years and My Bedroom Floor. I keep things pretty uptempo on this record, and try to keep the beat and danceable as possible. The record is mostly instrumental, save for the few hoots and hollers that you’ll hear on the first track (care of my wonderful friends).

This whole record was meant to inspire joy and excitement. New Years Eve can be an amazing night, and I hope that this record finds its way into your night.”
