Here is a clip of Lander at the Doug Fir Lounge PDX performing a rare Clarity 07.25.06. The song is about the Apocalypse and a dream I had (your seeing the ending). Sweet dreams.

As I sift through the Lander videos, I’m going to start posting as much film as possible. Since we use a tiny digital camera the quality of sound and image is usual suspect- but enjoy nonetheless. All videos will be played on youtube.com

Thanks to all that helped in the production- thank you to the crew at the doug fir lounge, db clay and sameunderneath for the help with the grunt work. Thank you Matt Putnam for opening and Ohmega Watts for closing. Now that the party is over… enjoy the album.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

July 25th marks the date for local band Lander to release the highly anticipated debut album orange chrome sky at the Doug Fir Lounge PDX- a starting block for a northwest tour.

PORTLAND, OR Lander was formed with the idea to create a unique sound; epic-folk. In a Portland basement in December, the band self-produced a mock album that set the stage for the upcoming studio experience.

For the past 5 months the Lander studio album has been crafted under the production of Rob Stroup at 8 Ball Studio, PDX. The 11 track debut infuses folk compositions with timeless rock n’ roll melody. Sentimental, sincere, even romantic, the song lyrics and mood’s stir up an emotional history that is the tragedy of the common: love and heartbreak, glory and ruin, pride and humility. Imagine campfires, long dirt roads and the epic story that is life… you have begun to imagine the sound of Lander’s orange chrome sky.

-we could be in the atmosphere.

Big news! The album is done! We’ve been scheming this album for 3 years. We’ve been recording rigorously since November. Needless to say, it was a long process but WELL worth the time. orange chrome sky is definitely an album you’ll want to check out.

With that said, I hope your calendars are clear because you’re cordially invited to join us next Tuesday July 25 at the Doug Fir Lounge for our debut album release! We’ve teamed up with Sameunderneath and db clay to bring you an amazing Lander show, free albums and brand new Lander merchandise for men and women. We’ll be playing all of the songs from the album plus a few more- we’ll also have DJ Ohmega Watts for the after party.

We believe this album deserves a healthy launch so check out the flyer below, listen to the samples, forward them to everyone you know, grab your friends and we’ll hope to see you Later in July… to claim your free cd if nothing else. Later Lander Lovers.
