After four years of writing and recording, Synchronized Sleeping, the debut full length from Hidden Pictures will be hailed with a public celebration April 1, 2011, at The Brick, in Kansas City, Missouri.
In addition to the groups core members, Richard Gintowt and Michelle Sanders, the album which was will feature a newly revised lineup of Erik Voeks on the bass, Cameron Hawk (of Dead Girls) on the drums and Nate Holt (formerly of OK Jones) on the keys. Additional musicians contributing to the completion of Synchronized Sleep include Josh Adams (of Ghosty), Tim and Alan Brandsted, Nate Harold (of Waking Ashland), Billy Brimblecom, Pat Tomek (of The Rainmakers) and Dave Gaume (of The Caves). Engineering was handled by Ed Rose, Paul Malinowski and Mike Giffin, in addition to work completed at Gintowt’s home studio.
Not only will you be able to get your hands on Synchronized Sleeping, but those fans who purchase the album on Hidden Pictures’ Bandcamp Page will also receive the lost OK Jones album Stealing Dan as a bonus. The album was shelved when OK Jones disbanded in 2007 when Gintowt and Gaume started Hidden Pictures. The six songs on Stealing Dan were finished upon the completion of Synchronized Sleeping.
The band’s previous EPs Choosing Sides, Whitney Houston and Self-Titled can be purchased on the group’s Bandcamp Page as well. You can find the video for the song “Annie Apparently” from the Choosing Sides EP below.
