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.
Includes unlimited streaming of Best Laid Plans
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Corner Sun
Billie on the AM radio,
It felt just like the end of a show
Blinking back those tears
Shrinking in the rear view window
Daddy liked his feelings cut and dry
Mama did her best to stem the tide
Of a little boys first loss
Standin' there across the roadside
wooahoo well it comes and then it goes
Like a river ebbs and flows, each day
wooahooo then you end up in that place,
Where the lines upon your face, are here to stay
And you question everything you've ever done
And all the memories you'll never outrun,
Yeah but man I'd give it all away
Just to spend another day
Under that corner sun
Daddy liked to say works all you need
Mama said it made his stomach bleed,
But he never stood a chance,
Buried in the best laid plans, he didn't need
I put in my last shift on that line
When they shut it down before its time
Another promise come and gone,
And now there ain't too much to count onnnnnn....
wooahoo well it comes and then it goes
Like a river ebbs and flows, each day
wooahooo then you end up in that place,
Where those lines upon your face, are here to stay
And you question everything you've ever done
Alll the memories you'll never outrun,
But man I'd give it all away
Just to spend another day
Under that corner sun
Well I opened up that box
Under the bed
Saw that crayon color picture
Staring back at me
And I couldn't help but think
How time gets twisted, complicated
Side tracked, turn and lose your way
Looks at me as if to say...
wooahoo well it comes and then it goes
Like a river ebbs and flows, each day
wooahooo then you end up in that place,
Where those lines upon your face, are here to stay
And you question everything you've ever done
Alll those memories you'll never outrun,
But man I'd give it all away
Just to spend another day
Under that corner sun
