Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts Album Focus: 750 Rebels

Album title: Kold Heat

Where did the title of your new album come from? The working title for the album was originally called ‘Bring It To Ya City’. After getting bored with this, we ran with Kold Heat, which was a name of a track I’d demoed two years earlier.

How many releases do you have now? 16 releases between us all on the label Karsniogenics, plus a tonne of material with other indie labels, vinyl, tapes and CDs.

How long did it take to write/record? Some tracks were recorded three years ago, but the majority was done in the last two years. Sean B, who produced the album would send beats to us, we would write during the week then hit the studio on the weekend.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Firstly the beats we were getting sent, plus Jake and myself trying to push one another in our writing. Just being in the studio on certain nights when that magic happens, was inspirational in itself.

What’s your favourite song on it? For a long time now its been Magnum Opus but since the album’s been out, I’m diggin’ tracks like The Paper and False Idols.

Will you do anything differently next time? Each release is a milestone, a snap shot in time, since I’ve been buried in this project for along time I don’t have a clue on what’s next, or what approach I would take on the next project.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Next gig is in Adelaide, 12 Dec for Stand Up.
