    A double 45, 180-gram edition of Best Laid Plans, the debut album from Hot Mondy.

    This also includes the nearly 50 page Best laid Plans graphic comic, which includes a short 4-page 12x12 story to accompany each song.

    This is all packaged neatly together in a slip case.

    Other aspects worth noting is the entire album was recorded in high-resolution natively. 96hz/24-bit, meaning the sound stage and audible spectrum reaches to the limits and beyond what we can percieve. The note to producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda was to preserve dynamics and make sure the songs breathe; lifting and falling with the song's natural rhythms.

    The album was recorded at the fabulous Sonic Temple in Halifax through their stunning and well maintained Neve V-III analog board. The unique character and acoustics of the studio are housed within an 1820s heritage building with exposed brick, wooden beams, intricate molding and modern skylights. A 1000-square-foot loft recording area features an 18-foot ceiling and pine flooring restored to its original splendor, sitting atop a modern floating floor designed to offer maximum isolation between this space and the control room below.

    The album was also Mastered by award winning mastering engineer Joao Carvalho in Toronto (Rush, Arkells, Alexisonfire).

    Wer think you'll love the music, but this record is also made for those who love an exciting sonic experience from a turntable. This is all of that.

lyrics

Lyrics

I see two worlds
And they’re so clear
Hard to know where to put it all
And I’m pushing back on my old self
As heavy hearing drowns out my cries
My cry for help

Ever single nerve
in my body sings to me
Like a hey hey hey
Don’t wanna hear any more
Got me tied up in knots

And every single day I wake up
Thinking it might be the last last time
I see this place…
See my face

Now I’m runnin’ through a mindfield
Got the enemy close behind me,
Caught up in a war, I just can’t concede
the fight is never ending,
the end can be so tempting
When you’re trapped under the weight
Trapped under the weight
of battle fatigue

Feeeeeel
Feeling locked away in a head case
No faith
No faaaaaaith
Can’t be making sense of all these easy answers
they be selling me me me me meeeeeee
I’m tryin’ to face
I need a safe place to land
And I ain't gotta know, I ain't gotta know

Now I’m runnin’ through a mindfield!
Got the enemy close behind me,
Caught up in a war
I just can’t concede
the fight is never ending,
the end can be so tempting
When trapped under the weight
Trapped under the weight
of battle fatigue

I wake up in a cold sweat
I can’t move, there’s nothing left
But the front lines keep calling
and what can I say?
It’s the same goddamn thing...
Every, every, every, every-day!

Now I’m runnin’ through a mindfield!
Got the enemy close behind me,
And I’m caught up in a war,
I just can’t concede
And the fight is never ending,
the end can be so tempting
When trapped under the weight
Trapped under the weight
of battle fatigue
