Premier EP pour Duckhunters

<p> <strong>THE PROJET</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Last year we have recorded on our own a 3 songs demo untitled "Drop Dead". This first shot was a successful experiment to express the spirit of Duckhunters.  </p> <p> Today we want to strike again with a more audacious project. We plan to record an EP in a professional studio in order to exploit all of our potential. This EP will be available in CD.  </p> <p>  </p> <p> This EP (35 min) represents a dramatic step in the life of the band. It's the sum of the work started just after the release of our demo and acting a musical turn as well as a more pronounced identity.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here: our demo released in Aug 2014. <a href="http://duckhunters.bandcamp.com/">http://duckhunters.bandcamp.com/</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> Indeed, since few months, Duckhunters is morphing and mutating from an artistic point of view. After eighteen months of composition and scenic improvements we have found a good balance between Man-new (Singer), Guy-home (Guitar), Easy-door (Bass) and Alone (Drum) through a pachydermic stoner, dense and cutting edge. After several match-tests with our public we feel it's time to record.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here there is a live of "Thunderdome" (from the demo) recorded at l'espace Léo Ferré, December the 6th 2014.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The realization of this EP is not an idea in the air. This project is a way to reach a frontier, to make a portrait of what the band "Duckhunters" means for us and to share it with our public. Finally, this record is a fundamental prerequisite to growth up and increase our credibility in the stoner family.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Proud of our work, we truly think we have reach a step in our development. This is why we are reloading the shotgun, ready to spit fire with your truth and your help!</p> <p>    </p> <p> <strong>STUDIO</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  To be sure to obtain a hi-fi record we have decided to collaborate with a professional studio. The only way to get a sound near of stages.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Confidently we have entrusted our souls and our guts to Y production, a Britton Studio from Plougastel-Daoulas lead by Nuts.  In the Duckhunters philosophy, it's always an obligation to play with the local talents. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Rencontre avec Nuts, au manoir Y PROD, dans la salle de billard, avec le chandelier" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/158618/SAM_3048-1422981494.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Nuts is a long time sound-master with a lot of local collaborations on his table hunting (Valse noot, Silent down, Stangala, Firefrost).</p> <p> His facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yprodstudio?pnref=lhc" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/yprodstudio?pnref=lhc</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> His skills and his philosophy of the mix allow him to work with several different styles to obtain a sound expected by the most intransigent musicians. It's not a coincidence if we choose him...</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Cabine de prise, à Y PROD STUDIO" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/158619/cabine_prise_Y_prod-1422981627.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>ARTWORK</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Desert themes, life in the post apocalyptic world are characterizing the atmosphere of Duckhunters through the text of Man-new and our riffs. For this new disk, we have chosen to work with a graphical artist. Regarding his human and technical skills, Jo Riou was The Man of the situation. Check out his creations: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Jo.Riou.Graphics?fref=ts" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Jo.Riou.Graphics?fref=ts</a></p> <p> and also for a broader overview:  <a href="http://jonathan-riou.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">his tumblr</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> In few months Jo was contacted by several big names of the stoner to realize artworks, notably for famous festivals e.g. Freak Valley, Desert Fest, Blizzard Mountain's Fest. </p> <p>                                                                                                                                                                                             </p> <p> <img alt="Jorioutruckfighters-1422981919" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/158622/jorioutruckfighters-1422981919.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/158621/joriou3monkeys-1422981725.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
