about
"With a sound that embraces the defiant punk vocals and lyrics that challenge both the decisions of our current government administration and the dangerous apathy of the listener, DB continues to defy strict genre categories with this new release... Overall, sEParation is a successful follow-up. Edgy, spirited and at times surprisingly catchy, the record asks bold questions, ultimately leaving the listener to find the answers."
-Performer Magazine, Nov 07
"Reggae punk is their flavor but they add in elements of math rock, jigsaw rhythms, and counter-culture lyrics. Highly energetic the group sounds much more populated than a mere trio. This is a blister of punk rock who should never have time to properly heal."
-Smother Magazine, April 07
nerd notes: This EP was recorded in Allston MA at Analog Divide, a small analog-only studio run by Tim Shea. The room is used as a practice/recording spot for Black Helicopter and other locals such as Mission of Burma. The tracking was basically done live in a few takes on Saturday, and mixed on Sunday. This was certainly the quickest recording we've ever put together, and it was fun and challenging to mix everything live to 2" tape. The sixth track is a remix that our buddy Gejius created using snippets from our first album. The final track was actually recorded sometime in 2005 by JBo and Mercer using a trombone and a DL4, and thought it was appropriate to tack on this nightmare-enducing track to close out the album.
The cover art was a concept by DB, and painted by good friend and amazing artist KTRON. We wanted to see God portrayed in the likes of Lee "Scratch" Perry's Superape, decapitating a certain president in the likes of Alfred E. Newman. Oh, if wings could take dream...
The original release of this album was in a 5" x 6.5" hand made jacket packed with a 6 page lyric booklet and two discs, the second containing the entire live set from our Pipeline! performance. 100 hand numbered copies (sold out).
