Due to great success, debut album Flying The Wrong Way by The Wooden Faces is now also available on all streaming services. On May 15, the album was released as a digital download and on cassette. Last week the band already released a video clip in ‘lockdown style’ for ‘Flowers of Regret’. So now all songs can be heard online.

The Wooden Faces mix R.E.M., Tom Petty and The Smiths. The album has eleven songs. Sensitive and heavy rock songs alternate, in which the flawless vocals make every song a complete work of art. Flying The Wrong Way was recorded in two ways simultaneously: digital and analog. This is to make clear what the difference is. These together form a unique way to immortalize music!

The analog version is only available on cassette. The music was recorded, mixed and mastered with only analog equipment directly on the cassette. This cassette is intended as a unique means of listening to the music.
The digital download has been edited, mixed and mastered using advanced technology. And now you can also listen online.

A new band has emerged! And they are going to release their first album at Gentlemen Recordings! The band is called The Wooden Faces and one of the guys is an old friend of ours: Dan Donnelly.

The Wooden Faces is comprised of a younger producer and drummer and two older musicians. Anth Mills is a 30 something producer and drummer who stated that anything could be done by a computer and still sound as good as an old amp or compressor or echo chamber. He has worked with Northern Irish rock band Therapy?. Jimmy Nail and many other artists so Dan Donnelly (we released his album ‘Are We Having Fun?‘) and Goulven Hamel had to consider this argument. So began an argument about analogue versus digital recording…

First album

That is how the album ‘Flying The Wrong Way‘ came into being. The album will be released on Friday May 15th. It was recorded two ways at the same time. Each signal was split, one going to a reel to reel tape recorded and one going to a computer. The album will be released on cassette and digital download. In buying the album you get two versions. One has never been turned into digital information. It has been recorded, mixed and mastered with only analogue equipment directly on to cassette. The digital download has been edited, mixed and mastered using cutting edge technology and saved as a file.

The price of the cassette + digital downloads will be €9,99. You can pre order the album now in our shop.
