In short, Hiccup Road is a collective
of great musicians who are also engineers, artists, photographers, and sound designers.
The album contains 10 tracks of distinctive sounds from acoustic guitars and drums to a
whole host of vintage analog synthesizers and processors to a church choir and strings.
"Our aim was to create the dream-like atmospheres of bands like Air and Mellow with a keen eye to classic albums like "Meddle" by Pink Floyd or "Hergest Ridge" by Mike Oldfield," producer Drew Anderson explains. "The idea was to make music that has life and longevity." Drew is a former mastering and multi-media engineer with Masterdisk,
and an all around musical and technical guru and do it your-selfer. He wrote the album together with Rich Guerzon, who has been playing and writing music professionally for years. Drew had the overall plan and Rich gladly stepped in and helped shape the proposed vision. After the songs were written, friends and fellow musicians came in and added to the mix. After a year long hiatus due to scheduling, the band is finally gearing up to play live.
The production process took over a year, and was recorded in 5 different locations around New York City : one real studio, three apartments and a church. "I have always liked putting combinations of things together whether it be sound or people," Drew says. "There is nothing like getting your pal from Venzuela who plays viola playing alongside a friend from Las Vegas playing acoustic guitars and drums while an old analog keyboard from the 70''s hums in the back." Drummer David Barnaby adds: "While our musical tastes are pretty wide ranging, the goal of the record was to capture the spirit of music that influenced Drew the most, and which we continually listen to and admire, specifically: older Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Air, Spacemen 3, Mellow, Arvo Part,
and others."
