Want to be on the next Parts & Labor album?Between the work on the new album, a live date this month, and a trip to Europe in July, Parts & Labor have plenty on their plate for the moment.
We're in the studio working on our next album. Send us some audio samples to use on the recording.
We're looking for snippets of noises, field recordings, found sounds, drones, speaking, etc.
Send audio that responds to any or all of these questions:
1. What's your favorite or least favorite sound?
2. What are you afraid of?
3. What do your parents sound like?
4. Where are you going, or where have you been?
The deadline for submissions is May 23.
Please keep the samples under 10 seconds. WAV or AIFF formats are preferred (but MP3s are okay too).
Email your submissions to partsandlaborsounds@gmail.com. Include your name for crediting purposes if you want.
Thanks,
Parts & Labor
PS: By sending us audio files, you're agreeing to let us use them on our audio recordings in any way we see fit, forever and ever. Don't send lawyers at us.
