about

Recorded using a single Scotch™ L-750 Betamax tape, The Betamax EP is an aptly named semi-experimental acoustic rock EP.

Each song is written about someone I know, using their birthday as the track title, that way simultaneously obvious and secret.

This project was cut short after the Betamax player I was using died. You can hear the deterioration of the tape with each song.

Once More Before We Fall Apart
by Dirty Uniform

I produced this EP with Joe Manual Martinez. Glitching guitars, sampled drum loops and vocal harmonies. We wanted to create a completely unique sound with this release. It was so much fun. Ben K Adams
