We'd worked on and off on this for years, physically mailing parts back and forth across the Atlantic. The critical acclaim was overwhelming so everybody ditched their jobs, degrees and families sharpish. Listen closely and you can hear hints of an alternative timeline where that all panned out for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/1639979182640-NSD0MW5TTWTQ2B8HFF2K/The+Enemy+Chorus.jpg Discography The Enemy Chorus- This was the Earlies Second album. It was also unfortunately our last. Recorded at the start of 2006 and released a year later. It was critically well received again, just not quite as well as the last one. It sold less too. If the numbers decline you're done. It's wonderful though, a treasure trove of proggy Easter eggs that always surprises me anew when I go back to it. It'll be a cult classic I reckon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/2621c4e7-82f3-4f3d-97c3-15fc3d8e894e/C+Madden+EC.jpg Discography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/1639979182946-81YXA61PZ6SCJLEY8WBG/UTR+final+design.jpg Discography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/1639979182952-OLBE7Z443C5Z1EG4IQXQ/The+Wrecking+Place.jpg Discography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/1639979182650-234ZPEP2R54QKZQG6Y5V/Gospel+Of+Progress.jpeg Discography Micah P Hinson and The Gospel of Progress- Released in 2004 a couple of weeks after These Were The Earlies by the now defunct Sketchbook Records. I didn't get a penny for this one and barely received any credit either but I've now moved far enough into the future that none of it stings. It's a wonderful, soulful album of sad songs featuring me and my friends offering the ultimate Northern hospitality to a Texan we barely new and elevating his mournful songs to epic levels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61c018ae11492018fbec1f43/1639979182657-QPS92Q4OV76T28YXNSKC/KC+Rules+OK.jpg Discography King Creosote, KC Rules OK- In a ten day period in 2005 we recorded, arranged, produced and mixed 17 songs for Fence Records uncannily productive leader King Creosote. It's one of the happiest, easiest periods I've ever spent in a recording studio and the resulting album was a joyous document of that. I say 'was' because follow the link above and you get a tampered with version where a couple of London producers re-recorded versions of three of the songs. I obviously think they're inferior versions but setting my biased opinions aside you can understand why I might find it a jarring listen.
