For those of you who are just joining us, here's a little background about
The Singles - Season 3: Starting in 2008, we decided to try a little experiment. The idea was to release a CD's worth of songs one at a time over a few months, sort of like a TV series. At the end of the "season," you could get a collector's edition with all the tracks, liner notes, artwork, and extraneous whatnots.
Well, it worked....at least you guys have told us as much! And we know we're not supposed to believe the hype, but so far the press has agreed: Skope Magazine gushed about
The SIngles - Season 1: "It’s unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.... The band is incredibly talented, which is especially evident in reading the album booklet and the explanations behind all of the songs.... If you want to spend an hour in an entirely different dimension, Kicksville is for you."
The Singles - Season 2 got Brian Baker (Blurt Magazine, Cincinnati City Beat) so hot, he wrote, "...any sounds that can be attributed to Kicksville are among the most fascinatingly original that are being foisted upon an unsuspecting world."
Which brings us to
The Singles - Season 3.... We're kicking off the next 10 weekly episodes of schizo-phonic weirdness on
National Record Store Day, April 17. From the atmospheric silliness of
Hot Alien Orgy to the Black-Flag-meets-Bukowski-on-a-binge edginess of
Luna,
Season 3 is going to stand out as some of our best stuff yet. And following in the footsteps of
Andy Ewen and
Tone Deaf, the artwork for
Season 3 is provided by the renowned Russian illustrator,
