Awesome – reminds me of the good old days of VHS, West Coast Video, and Laserdisc players.

(A selection from Subdivisions by Ross Racine via Swiss Miss)

New York artist Ross Racine creates aerial views of fictional suburbs, examining the relation between design and actual lived experience. No photographs or scanned images are used in the pieces above. Each was drawn freehand directly on the computer and then printed on an inkjet printer.

On a somewhat related note: if you haven’t downloaded it already, our latest release, “Subdivisions” is available in the Sinch store for only $4.99!

Pretty amazing mini-documentary on Amon Tobin’s collaboration with Sony on the music for the game “Infamous”.

On this date exactly 5 years ago we released the self-titled album on Roadrunner Records. The album went on to sell over 30,000 copies in the U.S alone and was supported by a big fancy video and several months on touring. Despite it being our only release for Roadrunner I’m sure we all have enough memories from this time in the bands history to last us a lifetime. From recording the album in Nashville with Malcolm Springer to doing a video that was probably a huge waste of money to the last tour date for the album in South Carolina it was all a blast (even though at the time we maybe didn’t appreciate it as much as we should of).

Just thought I’d post this to celebrate one of the many great times in the bands history. I’ll try to do more in the future.

If you’re interested in hearing a quick preview of what we’ve been up to for the last several months Jamie will be performing acoustic versions of a couple new Sinch songs as well as discussing the state of the band on an online radio station this Tuesday May 1st at 12:00pm EST on the B. Fox Rocks radio program. You can hear it for yourself at: www.mc3.edu/sa/wrfm

Feel free to stop back here and let us know what you think afterwards.

Here is a short video clip of our time at Ardent Studios in Memphis Tenn. It was taken in December of 2000 while we were there recording a demo of our song “Pain.” While the version of “Pain” from this session was never used, we later rerecorded it and put the song on our self-titled album that was released by Roadrunner records in 2002. As you can image there’s lots of downtime in the studio. Hours if not an entire day can be spent setting up all the mics and other various technical things so the band if often left to wonder around and explore the studio. This video clip is a good example this. It shows Tony playing his Nord keyboard (r.i.p) and Jamie playing the studio piano.

If you’re interested in hearing the actual song we recorded during this studio session it can be found in the podcast section of the site.
