NEW!!
Back
in September we did a recording workshop at Sweetwater Studios, the
state-of-the-art studio where Nick works and the place where we
recorded the drums for Noise Floor. Basically what happened was that we
played approximately 30 minutes of music for a class of about a dozen
recording enthusiasts. They observed how everything was set up and how
a typical album gets recorded. The songs were recorded live in the
studio and then mixed later. Artwork was created, copies were made, and
you can purchase one here!
The
songs on this CD are On A Perfect Day (from "Spock's Beard", our 9th
album), Hiding Out (from "Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep"), and Go
The Way You Go (from "The Light")
Here's the video for "To Breathe Another Day," the first single from Noise Floor.

The preorder for our limited edition of Noise Floor is now live!
This
unique set of vinyl albums plus CDs will be available in very short

the main album, titled "Noise Floor" and contains 8 tracks. The 2nd
record of the set is a four song EP titled "Cutting Room Floor". The 2
CDs have the same content as the vinyl records.

color version of this release is only available to order here.
Shipping date is scheduled for May 25.

Spock’s Beard announce their 13th studio album "Noise Floor" to be released on May 25, 2018.
Ted
Leonard, Alan Morse, Dave Meros & Ryo Okumoto are joined in the
studio once again by drummer & original member Nick D’Virgilio, who
records his first album with the band since 2010’s ‘X’.
“We
are always about evolution, not revolution. But what we have done this
time is make the songs more melodic,” believes vocalist/guitarist Ted
Leonard. “We still love our crazy prog, but now appreciate how
important it is to grab people's attention early on.”
As
with all Spock's Beard songs, most of the new album was written by the
individual members, and then brought to the rest of the band as high
quality demos. “We all do this type of thing in our home studios,” adds
Leonard. “So, by the time they reach the stage where the entire band
get to judge them, they are really developed, and therefore everyone
can make a reasoned judgement.”
The
album was once again engineered by long-time collaborator Rich Mouser
and will be released as a 2CD digipak (featuring an EP of material from
the same sessions), gatefold 2LP + 2CD & as digital download.
