Artist Biography For Aidan Baker & Thisquietarmy

A Collaboration Between Aidan Baker And Thisquietarmy. Their First Studio Collaboration Was The Orange EP Which Came Out As A Limited Edition Of 200 Orange CDRs On Thisquietarmy's Own Imprint. The Tracks Were Recorded Separately From Their Home Sent Back And Forth Via Postmail For Months And Finally Mixed And Edited By Eric Quach. The Release Was Quickly Sold Out Much To The Dismay Of The Largely Reputed Aquarius Records Store Who Kept Asking For More After Having Sold A Large Part Of The Run In A Very Short Matter Of Time. For Their First Full-Length Album Baker & Quach Have Decided To Do Things Differently By Setting A Simple Rule Beforehand The Record Was To Be Played And Recorded Live Together Adding A Very Minimal Amount Of Overdubs If Not Any. The Recording Session Took Place In The Fall Of 2007 In Quach's Own Home Studio TQA-HQ In Montreal. Because Of Their Very Busy Schedule It Took About A Year Before The Two Artists Decided To Get Together To Work On These Tracks Again. This Time Baker Finalized The Mixes In His Home Studio Resulting Again In Four Long Movements Clocking At Around An Hour's Length. Instead Of The Overall Terror-Ambient Feel Of Their First Collaboration The First Two Tracks Actually Find Both Guitarists Exploring The Brighter Side Of Their Spectrum Evoking The Hope And The Beauty Represented In Christy Romanick's Photographs That Were Again Used For The Artwork In Conjunction With Quach's Sketches.
