Buildings Breeding: self-titled debut
Indie rockers and lo-fi fiends are beginning to buzz about Buildings Breeding. On January 23 the band released their debut album through Mushpot Records, as the label's first full-length release. Originally planned to be released under the title Married to the Sea… Carried to Land, the band dropped the album name and released it as a self-title.
Fanatic Promotion pushed Buildings Breeding's album to 300 college radio stations earlier this month, breaking the band into CMJ's Radio 200 Adds at #6, and debuting at #46.
Half of the songs on Buildings Breeding were mixed by Aaron Prellwitz (Sun kil moon, Hella, Alaska!) at John Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone recording studio. Buildings Breeding has plans to record a vinyl EP at Tiny Telephone, and will be at South by Southwest via Fanatic Promotion.
As for the beginnings of Buildings Breeding, they started out more as a fluke:
"Buildings Breeding multi-instrumentalist Chris Larsen started this project as a complete farce. He created a MySpace page for a fictional Chicago quartet, creating numerous songs on his own for Melanie Glover, who was overseas at the time. Fascinated by the tunes, Glover accompanied the recordings with a tambourine. Larsen found her rhythmic flair and bought her a drum set, and Buildings Breeding was born."
