The mixtape reflects some material the boys found time to record during their hectic schedules supporting their most recent release, Baby Geniuses. Written and recorded over the course of a month, much of the mixtape features first-take verses, spontaneously composed during late night recording sessions. Listeners may recognize re-imaginings of beats from the likes of Daft Punk, Missy Elliot, Pink Floyd, 50 Cent, and others. Al Gore Bongwater Club also includes contributions from Geechi Suede of Camp Lo and FreeBass 808 (AKA the Apple Juice Kid), on a remix of "Brother" by Endless Mic's hometown friends Annuals. The mixtape, as a musical format, has always been a liberating medium, freeing up artists from the constructs of standard LPs. The format is also a way to reach listeners and fans more directly. For that reason, The All New Super Exclusive Al Gore Bongwater Club Mixtape Volume One is available for download right now, for free. 03.07.08 ![]() TREKKY RECORDS ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA ![]() Obama meets with Trekky Management in the meadow behind their house in Chapel Hill, NC After months of intense deliberation, and visits from presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and (Google) Ron Paul, Trekky Records has decided to endorse Senator Barack Hussein Obama for President of the USA. The much sought after Trekky endorsement generally ripples out into a 3 or 4 point jump in the polls, so we hope to see Obama's numbers increase in the coming weeks. 02.07.08 ![]() THE INDEPENDENT ON LOST IN THE TREES ![]() The Independent has published a lovely article about Lost in the Trees and Ari Picker's non-profit organization, Project Symphony.
