Press Release:
The “DoDo Project” starts here!
I’m sure you all know, but Bachelor No. 2 or the Last
Remains Of The Dodo is Aimee Mann’s third studio album, which was originally
released in 2000. It is one of the best albums in Pop Music. Says Y.
By mid-March 2012 Y had recorded sixteen tracks for the
project. At that point he was contacted by soundman Maceo, who had heard about Y
working on something. Before having heard any of the songs, he volunteered to
do some post-production on some of the tracks. However, after a few very
effective test-mixes, both he and Y agreed that he should have a go at the entire
album. His input was essential to opening these songs up to a wider sound-spectrum,
whilst cutting out Y’s tendency to overproduction. He even added some vocals
here and there. In Maceo’s words: ‘The album sounds better with each listen!’
By the end of the month, the project is now nearing its
completion – give them another 2 or 3 weeks for finalizing the mixes and sequencing
the whole thing. But we love the album so much that a preview single is called
for!
Well, here it is:
Backfire (Maceo Mix) b/w Just Like Anyone
(Demo)
Side A:
Side B:
Both songs are written by Aimee Mann and performed by Ymaginatif in his (rare) spare time. Backfire has post-production by Maceo!
