Half Acre Day

Artista biografía Half Acre Day's second and latest full-length album, Half Acre Day (set for release in March 2005), was produced by the band and mixed and mastered by Martin Feveyear (Queens of the Stone Age, Modest Mouse). The album is a continuation and an evolution of the distinct sound they have honed over the years together: a paradoxical pairing of darkness and light, of sophistication and unrefined crudeness, of unbridled joy and deep melancholy, often so tightly intertwined as to be indistinguishable. H.A.D.'s music leans heavily on the traditional rock framework, but is augmented with a mix of stylistic influences that range from breezy pop to prog-rock bombast to rootsy jangles... and it works. As students of the form, Half Acre Day is devoted to songwriting, recording and making new music that is catchy as hell, often while keeping their collective tongue nestled snug in their collective cheek. Their first full-length release, Primo de la Rocket Suit, was greeted in 2002 with accolades from the Seattle music community, including KEXP's John Richards, who added the album to his Local Top 5 list, and stalwart Seattle indie Barsuk Records, who spotlighted Primo de la Rocket Suit on their web site. Meanwhile, two of the songs were propelled to GarageBand's top 50 indie rock songs of all time, with one of them, "Policemen and Planes," reaching number 5. In addition, a third song from the album was chosen from over 600 entrants as a winner of ModMusic Records' Indie Choice Awards, garnering a place on their annual compilation. Half Acre Day has been privileged to share stages with some of the finest bands their hometown has to offer, among them The Presidents of the United States of America, Pedro the Lion, The Long Winters, The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players, and Dear John Letters. Following the release of Half Acre Day, the band will be playing regional shows and planning a west coast U.S. tour.
