Equators [Up]

Trevor Hacker from Sunbeam Rd recently released his first LP under his solo moniker Equators. While his band plays some excellent indie rock, Equators tends to focus on experimentation, which allows Hacker to incorporate more sounds and instruments into his songs. The song below "Up" is a monster of a track, coming in at under thirteen minutes but represents best what I feel Hacker is going for on this release. The album can be downloaded for free here or help support the artist by picking up some custom CDs here.

Equators / Magic Triangle [Covers CD-R split]

A couple days ago, Trevor from Sunbeam Rd sent me over a couple tracks from a side project he and his brother Clive have been working on. The two plan on releasing a split CD-R with each person contributing 2-3 songs under their respective solo names. The CD-R will be all covers and must be recorded individually within a 24 hour timeframe; one song however will be a collaboration between the two. Trevor's contribution under the name Equators is a cover of the Beach Boys while Clive, who goes by Magic Triangle, covered The Turtles. They expect a release sometime in late August.
