Intronaut is going to be releasing a new record sometime this year, but in the meantime why not enjoy some of the band's old material? I'm talking about demos and rough takes of songs from 2003 and beyond, all available for the low price of $1 on Bandcamp. As an added bonus, check out the band's explanations of all the songs below!
Tracks 1-2
– This is the demo that started it all. In 2003, Danny approached Sacha about starting a band, and this demo was made using a cassette 4 track recorder, a drum machine, and a small practice amp. This was recorded before Joe or Leon were even in the picture.Tracks 3-4
– When we first started playing together, we planned on having a 5th member on the synth and other auxiliary noise-making/sampling devices. For a few writing sessions, we tried out our friend Cristina Fuentes (of Sonic Death Rabbit) for the job. We ultimately decided it wasn’t really adding anything crucial to the songs, so we continued as a 4 piece. These two tracks are from one of our rehearsals with her, recorded on ye olde 4-track cassette machine.Tracks 5-7
– These were done in 2005 to a 4-track cassette machine using a drum machine and a small practice amp (with a microphone taped up to it) during the writing for “Void.” Basically we came up with some of these riffs in the jam room and then demoed the song structure on the 4 track. This is something we still do, but we have upgraded to far less primitive recording gear!
Just in case you actually wanted to hear the demos too, we've got you covered.
