The Hunters is an ep that I, Brian Evans, made with my
friend  Janessa.  We had played  in a number  of bands
together  before.   Neither  of  us  had  been  deeply
involved in any particular projects for awhile and had
been  toying  around  with  songs  on our  own.  I had
recorded some demos and while we were  hanging out one
evening I had her  listen to them and she added vocals
to three of them.  Listening to the ep  you can likely
tell that tracks 1,3, and 5 have a different sound and
feel from tracks 2 and 4. Janessa brought tracks 2 and
4 over and we recorded them with my additions.

I dont think either of us necessarily intended for the
songs to go together,  but as no further  songs and no
other  projects  materialized for quite some time,  we
decided to put them together as a little ep,  which is
what you have here.

The two songs that Janessa  was the primary writer for
made their way onto a  7  inch  lathe cut record  that
was released  by the now dormant Sage Canyon label.  I
still have some copies if anyone is interested;  I can
be reached at < sloum AT rawtext.club >.

If I recall  correctly th e album was recorded  with a
Seagull  6-string  acoustic-electric guitar,  a Squire
Cyclone electric guitar, a cheap store brand mandolin,
a  shruti box I  got on ebay,  and a single  condenser
microphone. I believe the guitars went direct into the
audio interface  and effects were  mostly added in the
recording program with the exception of some delay and
reverb pedals for the electric guitar.  The last track
was likely the only one to use a mic'ed guitar;  which
would have run through a small Vox practice amp.
