Palpable Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hey everybody! My band Flickerfall is proud to announce the release of our first EP, Delayed Reaction! The album has six original tracks that blend electronic beats with pop/rock vocals, guitars, and piano. You can preview the tracks on our website, http://flickerfall.com, and sgx's Protagonist Records is featuring one of the tracks from the album as a free download. The other half of Flickerfall is Amy Hsieh, who you might have seen performing during the OverClocked ReMix panels for Otakon 2009 and 2008, SITACon 2008, and AnimeUSA 2007, or posting on the OCR forums as diotrans. She handles vocals, guitars, and keyboards for our band, while I provide the electronic backdrops, the likes of which you may have heard on this very site. Flickerfall also has a track on the upcoming DKC2 project. We're selling CDs on our website for $6 + shipping, and digital downloads on Protagonist Records for $5. If you like the album, please use this thread to let us know - we'd love to hear your feedback! Or become a fan of our band on Facebook, which will have info about upcoming shows and releases.

Bahamut Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I had gotten this back during zircon & pixietricks' wedding, but I haven't really gotten to listen to it while sober. I remember liking what I heard though. I'll give more thoughts sometime soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Usually when I buy things online at 3am I end up regretting it when I get it in the mail a week later. Glad that's not gonna happen this time Congrats on the new album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 We're mailing out the first batch today. Big thanks to everyone who has supported us so far! I promise the album sounds good even if you're sober or awake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 So I was paying attention to the lyrics as I listened through the album a few times - was this meant to be some playful encounter between a guy & girl that didn't work out and it's eating away at the girl? It definitely pulls at your heartstrings some though - great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diodes Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 So I was paying attention to the lyrics as I listened through the album a few times - was this meant to be some playful encounter between a guy & girl that didn't work out and it's eating away at the girl? Hmm, which song? Actually all the lyrics are on our website on the lyrics page. But yeah, not all of the songs are super happy sunshine and rainbows, we do have some relationship-angsty songs ; And the lyrics are at least somewhat based on my personal experiences, so I guess you can make of that what you will. It definitely pulls at your heartstrings some though - great job! Thanks! Is it mean/weird of me to say that I'm happy the music we made has an impact on others, even if the feeling is not exactly a happy one? ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Hero Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks! Is it mean/weird of me to say that I'm happy the music we made has an impact on others, even if the feeling is not exactly a happy one? ; Naw, lol. It's the job of an artist to evoke some sort of emotion from their audience. I might pick up a copy too, btw, if I can get around to getting off my lazy ass.

Gario Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I missed this post yesterday, I guess... Nice work on the vocal / electronic combination - it fits your voice quite well, Diotrans. Damn, and I thought I was all special when you sang for my little track . Ah well, nice job, you two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diodes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Damn, and I thought I was all special when you sang for my little track . Aww, you are still special, your track is the only time I ever sang in Latin! Thank you everyone for all your support and kind words, it really means a lot to us.

Rozovian Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The words jumped around: Palpable/diotrans EP Reaction: Flickerfall - Debut Delayed Looks... Sounds good. $5 should be doable, and undoubtedly money well spent. hm... should I request a full-out disco remix of Metro Underground? btw, careful about the pictures you use for site and coming releases, the one you're using the most right now doesn't look that good to me. Flat lighting, and too much of it. (sorry, photography class reflex) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 i saw today that you shipped it, amy. i'm looking forward to having some smooth tunes playing in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarfall Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A word with "fall" thrown at the end of it, how original. Digging the tunes, even if it's a genre I don't normally venture into. I may have to get the downloaded version when I get monies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'm just getting around to listening to it today, but I got it earlier in the week. Thanks for the fast delivery! Nice work. Love the voice, of course. I'm gonna go ahead and say that, for now at least, "metro underground" is my favorite track. I've been trying to write stuff in this style lately (lyrically and musically) so it definitely caught my attention as a simple and slick example of what I'm looking to do. "This is the end" is pretty cool too. You can't help but smile when you hear the 80's pop intro on track 3 I wasn't paying attention to the lyrics until the I heard the acoustic version though. Good stuffs for sure. How did you record your guitar on that last track, Amy? I can't tell whether its a dual mic setup that gives it that width and richness, or whether you doubled the guitar track. Looking forward to future stuff you two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We have an acoustic/electric guitar so on the last track we recorded the guitar and mixed it with the guitar output to get that sound.Cool, that's my method these days too. I usually pan the signals 80L/80R and that gives me a lot of width and warmth. However, I think if I had a matched mic pair (or even two good mics) I'd probably just skip the line out. That characteristic piezo sound used to appeal to me, and it still sounds fine, but I've heard it way too much and I'm getting bored with it. Of course, another solution is to get one of the Taylor ES guitars with their fancy triple magnetic sensor pickup and skip the mics altogether...<droool> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
