leftovers

I started working on what would become "Mixed Signals" back in 2011, right after I released my debut. In fact, by the end of summer that year, I had a CD-R that I listened to in the car that had most of the album demoed. And then I changed my mind. Myles had asked why I wasn't recording live drums. I tried to explain that I didn't know how to record or mix drums. And then, I met Jarod and asked him to join the band and had to find something for him to do. So we wrote new songs that would utilize all five of us, and we figured out ways to record drums, find our harmonies, and sound like a band together. Finally, five years after "It's Never the Way You Imagine It," we are releasing the first true Traitors album. In keeping with tradition , I'll first include that original track list of what I was calling "Art Damage." 1. Angels in Paradise 2. Lover + Lass 3. Quickie 4. Cocksure 5. Here's the Thing 6. Meet Me in Atlantis ...

I will be posting more about this soon, but for now, here's the announcement: My band's first album together will be coming out on 7/22/16!!! This follows up my debut solo album, "It's Never the Way You Imagine It," which was released in April, 2011. Why did this one take so long? Well, it's a full band album, so instead of me just making music on my computer whenever I wanted to, I had to learn how to do things like record drums, mix drums, produce tracks with contributions from at least 5 very busy people, and then tie it all together! I'll be going into more detail about each track, but for now, you can pre-order the album and hear our new single "All Mixed Up" here: <a href="http://devintait.bandcamp.com/album/mixed-signals">Mixed Signals by Devin Tait &amp;amp; The Traitors</a>
