Get our album for $1 on Bandcamp



Good news everyone! You can now get our first full album Diminishing Returns for only ONE DOLLAR on Bandcamp! You can also listen to it for free.

As a special incentive for those of you who might have already picked it up on iTunes or Amazon, consider these two facts:

1: Bandcamp allows you to get the album in a wide variety of formats, including several that are of a much higher quality than the MP3s offered by iTunes and Amazon. At the highest quality it will be just like hearing the master recordings!

2: The Bandcamp album comes with a bonus track! We've included a remix of "The One, The Wayward" that is not available anywhere else. That has to be worth a dollar, right?

I should also point out that you can pay more than one dollar if you want, but that's entirely up to you. We really just hope you check out this new home for our music and we really hope you can spread the word to all of your friends and enemies.

But that's not all...



Marcus has a new solo album out! That's right. After years of speculation, trails, epic battles and trips into the deepest depths, Marcus has emerged victorious, holding With Endless Love, We Left You Sleeping aloft with bloody hands. He has also made it available on Bandcamp, so you can listen and purchase to your heart's content. Oh, and the cover photos is awesome.

What's that? That's still not all?



That's right! I, Zac, have slapped three of my latest solo albums up on Bandcamp too! Huzzah!

There are two Dirty Knobs albums there. The last regular album Shobute and the extra special remix compilation Dirty Knobs vs. Duluth, Minnesota that features other local bands like Low, Haley Bonar, Amy Abts, The Dames and many more. I've even included three bonus tracks not on the CD! There's also my last album as Xero Products called Nothing As It Isn't. This is a straight up trance, dance, melodic electro album from 2000.

I am still very proud of all of these albums, so I sincerely hope you take some time and listen to them. Perfect for sitting around at work, pretending to work!

OK, that's all. For now. Keep an eye out for new updates to all of these sites. Again, you can listen to all of these albums in their entirety for free, so please spread the word. Thanks.

A review on Stereotoid



The handsome gentleman over at Stereotoid have posted a review of Diminishing Returns. Not only do they think that Marcus "does not suck at all," and that "the album seems to progressively mature as each track plays and by the time the time track 'Us Against All' played I was completely floored at how good it was," but they also compare it to the Earthbound soundtrack! I think we have found our target audience.

Go read it. Oh, and who is this Nine Inch Nails band we're listed alongside? Never heard of 'em.
