Hello friends!

Our debut album has been in the works for many years. It has taken several seasons of rehearsing, arranging, performing, fundraising, brainstorming, and preparing to get this album ready to be recorded—and we are just about ready to release it to the world! During the summer of 2021, we were lucky enough to work with local musician and recording engineer, Jason Phelps, at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, Maine. Jason put in many hours to get our debut album ready for release, and we are so grateful for his hard work.

Before we release the album we have a few people to thank—

First and foremost, thank you to our fearless leader, Carter Logan. He has taught us countless lessons about musicianship, performance, teamwork, and collaboration. Carter has been has been teaching music lessons and leading ensembles for many years, and the Maine music scene is better off because of his efforts.

Secondly, thank you to our wonderful families. When Flight first began playing together we were young teenagers. Our parents drove us to every rehearsal, helped arrange gigs and opportunities in the community, and cheered us on at each stage. We could not have done this without them!

Finally, thank YOU! We are very grateful to the fans who have attended our shows and listened to our music. As a band, we have connected with people of different ages and backgrounds. The connections we have made to our community through music are priceless. Thank you to all who showed up and shared the experience with us. We hope you enjoy the album, and continue supporting local music!

On this 4th day of Christmas, we've got a tune by local pirate band, Shank Painters -- which involves a north pole take over and burning Santa's body on the coals of bad children. You can rely on the Shank Painters for a good story, so pay close attention to the lyrics. We also love a mask pic where you can tell everyone is beaming, we had such a great time working with them at the studio! Take a listen here >> https://acadiarecordingcompany.bandcamp.com/track/scrimshaw-for-christmas

What could we possibly be doing in this photo with Audio Wizard Jason Phelps and Oscar of Acadia Recording Company? That's right, new music! And not just any new music... a Christmas song! We had a blast being part of Acadia Recording Company's 12 Days of Christmas project! The link to the album will be LIVE on Christmas Day (tomorrow!)

If you're feeling the post Christmas slump, remember that it is merely the third day of Christmas! But this Joni Mitchell cover by Quad may make you feel all the feelings-- its hard to not get emotional over Devon Colella's gorgeous cello work delicately supported by Chris Wilkes on drums and piano in their rendition of River https://acadiarecordingcompany.bandcamp.com/track/river

Sean Mencher's Rockin' Afternoon!
Sean Mencher's Rockin' Afternoon!

We made it to the The New England Shake-Up this past weekend for Sean Mencher's Rockin' Afternoon! Here's a clip of Sean Mencher playing with Bobby Trimble (of Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys), Chris Casello (The Chris Casello Trio), Graham Tichy, and Jesse Woeful during his seminar on the 1976 RCA Victor record, Chester and Lester. We're looking forward to another session using the old Event Record's gear with Michael Hurtt's Haunted Hearts this week!

Caleb Mars Hickman is back at Acadia! Caleb rented the studio for the entire week (including a full day of tracking during the blizzard) and we've been working hard on his new album "The Magic Eye"

Spooky cymbal overdubs!

NEXT WEDNESDAY is out now everywhere! Thank you so much to our friends and family for their endless support, our donors who made this all possible, and to Jason Phelps at Acadia Recording Company for putting it all together. Most importantly, thank you to Carter Logan for his endless support, teaching, and friendship! 🪕🎤💿🎻 Listen now: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5HNMqIi7ekvb2KP7wZ4rHC?si=ym69M6RGS_a5oLX3fdJ7pg (Spotify link)
Our newly released cover of Backdoor Santa is available for FREE DOWNLOAD as part of this album from Acadia Recording Company. Sonic Liibido is and always has been just 5 hunky man-muffins who love eachother and rock hard balls every damn day. The bulk of our recordings have been at acadia because they are a part of our very sexy family. they get it. thats why we went at first, and its why we keep going back. when they call, we answer. a few months ago they hit us up and asked us to "record anything [we] want". this cover of clarence carter's erotic christmas classic was the obvious choice. but the record is full of other stuff from some other fu**in nasty p-townies as well. for free!
Merry Christmas, Cutie. Acadia Recording Company hit us up and told us to do whatever we want. so here's a special christmas gift from the boys. feel it.
The Greetings From Area Code 207 Radio Hour world premiere Xmas special is up!

New music alert! Our digital distributor didn't have a genre option for "Sci Fi Gospel" so it's just filed under Rock/Pop. We hope you enjoy these tunes and that more artists in the future will find a way to end a song with the word "Morphallaxis." Recorded by Jason Phelps at Acadia Recording Company, mastered by Pat Keane Mastering in October 2018. Produced by Thanks To Gravity.

a few years back on this very day came the real s**t. we will always be proud of this one (we recorded it in a lightening-fast, mostly live-to-tape session at Acadia Recording Company). today would be a poetic day to revisit it or get ears on it for the first time... but every day is a great day to crank this bad bitch.
I spent the day at Acadia Recording Company recording with some awesome folks. The day did start a little bumpy though. My car broke down on the highway on the way to the studio. Luckily I work with some of the best people! Justin Maxwell was a life saver and picked me up on the side of the highway, with my drums to get me to the studio relatively on time! We got 8 drum tracks down, 4 more tomorrow! Thank god for great musicians and even better people! Til tomorrow! #acadiarecordingcompany #toddhutchisen #karenmcdine #reveriedrums #cententcymbals #dixonhardware #attackdrumheads #aheadproducts #rootseq #nonutscymbalsleeves #cpmarshmallow #joebeninatidrums #studiotime
