▀ ▄ Release Notes ███
███
███
███
Austin-based rock 'n' roll quartet Grand Champeen will ███
release their new album, "Dial 'T' For This" nationally on ███
April 10, 2007 via Portland, Oregon-based independent record ███
label, In Music We Trust Records. ███
███
Grand Champeen are Michael Crow (guitar/vocals), Alex ███
Livingstone (bass/vocals), Ned Stewart (drums), and Channing ███
Lewis (vocals/guitar). ███
███
"The most important thing to note about this record is that ███
we recorded and mixed it to tape, without the aid of Pro ███
Tools or any editing software," proudly states Channing ███
Lewis, front man for Grand Champeen. ███
███
The thirteen-track album was recorded, engineered, mixed, and ███
mastered by the band at their Austin-based recording studio. ███
███
It is their fourth full-length, and first for In Music We ███
Trust Records. The record follows 2000's self-released "Out ███
Front by the Van", 2002's "Battle Cry for Help (Glurp), and ███
2003's "The One That Brought You" (Glurp). ███
███
"We recorded ["Dial 'T' For This"] ourselves, as we always ███
have, but we were way harder on ourselves than ever before," ███
explains Lewis. "We set out to achieve a much tighter sound ███
than 2003╣s îThe One That Brought You╣ (Glurp Records), which ███
was about as sloppy as records get." ███
███
The band decided they wanted a more precise record, one that ███
was more structure than slop, but equally heartfelt and ███
potent. ███
███
"We were successful in getting that level of precision, but ███
it was a lot of hard work. It was a real learning process, ███
but it was a desire born out of touring with some really ███
great bands, and humbly recognizing some of our ███
shortcomings," Lewis confesses. "It╣s not like we wanted to ███
make a Steely Dan or Rush album, or anything like that, but ███
we knew we wanted to have some sparse arrangements, and ███
sparse-ness and slop don╣t mix." ███
███
The record is filled with moments that have each band member ███
ecstatic and ready to tour in support of the record to show ███
it off to the world. ███
███
Whether it╣s Michael Crow playing the strings on "What It ███
Beats", the album opener, a pure haunting arrangement that ███
gives the short song its depth, or Ned Stewart╣s drumming ███
from start to finish, the band knows all their hard work and ███
energy they put into this paid off. ███
███
Other highlights on the album include the vocal harmonies on ███
"Wounded Eye", the use of piano throughout ("Something we╣ve ███
been wanting to incorporate for a long time," says Lewis), or ███
even the bass lick at the :45 marker in "To The Ideas". ███
Everything on the album has its place and gives "Dial îT╣ For ███
This" its sound. ███
███
But, even with the extra time spent tightening up and ███
polishing the recording, it is still a Grand Champeen record, ███
and it still rocks. And rocks a lot. ███
