New album ENDANGERED!

 
 

 The Intercontinental Music Lab has just put out its seventh full-length album.  A blurb from their website:

“Animals and birds are getting wiped out and the IML is concerned. Really concerned. So with this album we wrote songs and dedicated them to a small number of those most in danger. We ask all downloaders to perhaps pop by the World Wildlife Fund and make a donation in return for this sumptuous music. Listen on Last.FM, Jamendo or Soundcloud.”

For each song on this album (and every album the IML has put out) the instrumental backing track is written by one member, and then the track gets semi-randomly sent to another member who writes the lyrics and vocals for the song.  For this album, the topic was endangered species.  I wrote a dark country tune inspired by an ancient fish called the Coelacanth.  I then, in turn, got to write and sing some vocals for a rock number about the Blue-Throated Macaw. 

I think the album turned out great, and I hope everyone enjoys it!

…from the Adora guitar sessions.  We holed up in guitarist Mike’s basement, made a cave out of blankets, and turned his amps up LOUD!
