Early Surf by Axis: Sova

A collection of songs sourced from improvisations, phone recording fragments, and playful, late night spontaneity. Brett Sova made and recorded all the sounds, save for the essential and heady organ tones, which were deftly played by Jeremiah Chiu.

Sova edited, revised and gently fucked with each recording while mixing on the fly to see what type of song could be created from these archaic devices: guitars, Roland TR-66 Rhythm Arranger, and 4-track cassette recorder.

Heavy jams for light heads! Visceral fireworks lighting up the hemispheres! Fun times with torch tunes and scorch sounds! Call it what you want — Axis: Sova pulled these songs out of his head like eyeballs, fresh and round, sight damaged, with nerve endings dangling. Scrapping and scrapping the blown out amp waves, from his headphones to yours!

From blown-out solo bedroom project to full-blown band, A:S evolved all the way to the present group one blasted concept at a time.
