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
Yeah baby I know, gonna be alright
got a special thing, oh its so electric
im gonna shock and awe just like a bombshell
though years take a toll, still haven't heard the bell
Well, I know Now
what i want to do my love
to see you smile
love ain't gone, dream still strong
love, love, love
Well i cant deny
yeah sometimes its rough
and i dont mean to pry babe, but i know your tough
so you say to me somedays
want to run to the hills
just choking on these hard to swallow pills
Yeah, I know Now
what i want to do my love
to see you smile
love ain't gone, dream still strong
love, love, love
Well I'm running with you
About this life
Though it's hard to change
from dark to light
I know now
I know now
I know now
I know now
I know now
what I want to do my love
see you smile
love ain't gone,
dream still strong
love love love
