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
Ease the front door closed,
careful not to make a sound
Could be you or me,
hardly seems to matter now
So I wave the white flag,
set out on this early morning ride,
And by sundown we’ll both know,
it’s good to feel alive
And if I go easy go, easy go,
Clock the miles one by one,
until I repay all I owe
And I may never ever get there
but I will never know
Unless I go easy go
easy go
Were we too young?
Or thought this was part-time work
And as the fields fly by
I can see you in that denim shirt
Standing in the front yard laughing,
crying at the sweet release
Of the life we knew, was nothing,
but trying to keep the peace
So we go easy go, easy go,
Yeah we go easy, go easy go
And we may never ever get there
but we will never know
Unless we go easy go
easy go
Ain't time funny,
it never seems to be on time,
Yet we'll keep runnin' runnin'
blind to that finish line
Cause this pain the calling me home now,
wherever that may be,
Need to find what makes me run...
before it leaves
So we go easy go, easy go,
Yeah we go easy go, easy go
and we may never ever get there
and we will never know
Unless we go easy go easy go
unless we go easy go easy go
