ULTRA DOLPHINS – "Mar" CD now available!

October 19, 2006

While this won’t be in stores and distros until November 7th, we just got the debut ULTRA DOLPHINS full-length MAR in the mail and it turned out totally sweet! The CDs are here now, and the vinyl should be here in about two weeks. Here is a photo of the front cover of the CD:

ULTRA DOLPHINS debut album, briefly titled “MAR”, represents a fairly major departure from the band..s previous spazz-oriented, garage band freak-outs. Without losing focus on songwriting, the off-kilter structures move continually forward building up frantic but calculated momentum. Several piano tracks accompany drums and noisy guitars along with well-placed vocal melodies. The result is a dizzying but somehow unified listening experience which features a band at the height of their creative prowess. The packaging for this thing is equally intense, with a 6-panel chipboard jacket and 12-page song book. A solid debut album to say the least, and a true masterpiece to say the most!

We’re totally amped on how this beast turned out and you can check out three MP3s from the album here:

If you want to buy this, we’re charging $10 (postage included) in the USA and a few bucks more for international folks. You can order this and other stuff here: Robotic Empire’s Online Store

Here are some more shots & closeups of the CD packaging:

Vinyl folks, thanks for being patient, the 12-page booklets were actually kind of hard to get made so it got a bit delayed. We should have them in a couple weeks though and will make another post then (and post the pressing info and photos of the vinyl then as well).
