MP3 Sound Samples:
Saline:
Song: Can't Hear A Sound
Album: Blackout
Release Date: March '11
The goal for this Chicago-based band's interesting brand of female-fonted, straight-forward and unapologetic rock n' roll was a larger than life mix that still retained the group's unique dynamics.
Ice Nine Kills:
Song: Chris Brown's Latest Hit
Album: Safe Is Just A Shadow
Release Date: July '10
A super interesting, heavy, and incredibly technical record. This is one of the more complex records completed here---And likely the Square's most crushing mix to date.
Phil Smo:
Song: She Only
Album: Woven
Release Date: February '10
An unusually eclectic record, Woven showcases some of The Square's best natural sounds to date. 'She Only' is one of the most diverse tracks and is fantastically arranged.
Such Gold:
Song: Four Superbowls, No Rings
Album: Stand Tall
Release Date: September '09
Super raw, raise-your-fist-in-the-air punk rock. Stand Tall is reminiscent of the old punk records many of us grew up on.
Independent Louis:
Song: Have Some
Album: Say Yes
Release Date: March '11
As the final track on a surprisingly varied indie rock album, 'Have Some' features a number of surprises itself, all tied together with layers of unique and impactful textures.
The Brilliant Light:
Song: Music From Another Room
Album: A Healing Is Due
Release Date: April '09
A Healing Is Due was a few years in the making, and also showcases more of The Square's organic side. Featuring Elise Miklich of White Picket Fence on vocals.
