Dylan Houser - Diamond Dust (2018)

9/30/2018

Most of this album was recorded throughout the summer of 2018. 

I tried to list as many people as I could for the "special thanks" section: mostly people who've been an active part of my life over the past year. Whether they've booked a show for me on an out of state excursion, or attended a show that I've booked, or just been a great friend in general...I feel bad when I forget to list somebody, especially if they've played a big role.

The recordings would not have been possible without the following for loaning certain pieces of gear that I've used: Penny Grune-Fae (a looping pedal), Hal Harmon (a ZOOM bass fx pedal), Jeremiah Paddock (a Yamaha keyboard and a karaoke tape), and Emmy Lou (letting me record a few tracks at the ART/Ifact art studio down the road from me in Lakeland).

I went through a few track list revisions, track titles, the order of tracks. There are a few outtakes, at least one of which I might contribute to a future compilation or split release.

The second track, "Going to Hell Again," was recorded shortly after I had purchased a Behringer vintage delay pedal from a nearby pawn shop. I originally recorded it to test out some equipment and stopped right before the 5 minute mark, intending to use it on a potential EC Add-and-Pass cassette when another one arrives in my mailbox...but I liked the track so much, I felt like it made an appropriate "track 2" to an album.

Overall, I would have to say that I'm pleased with the results of this album. I personally feel like it's the best one I've done since Shock Ramen (back in 2013!). 

I hope to have physical copies available in the near future...

The Electronic Cottage website is primarily an online magazine for the publication of lengthy and in-depth articles, essays, and interviews.
For those of you who use Facebook I have created an Electronic Cottage Group, which is a casual social gathering place of the EC Community, where EC people can meet, share artwork and news of current projects and releases.
The website and this EC Facebook Group are two separate but connected entities of the greater EC Community.
