____________________________ | ☆ I D A H O ☆ | | D E V O | |__ Scenic _________ 2006 __|
Eric Eaglstun. Songwriter, lead vocals, guitar - and most of the other machines too. Based in Boise, Idaho.
§1 - WHAT HE DOES
Writes the songs and sings them. Plays guitar, synths and bass - whatever the take needs that isn’t a drum. Records at home.
Hear one: Echoes and Static - the first single, from LOSS LEADER LP.
§2 - THE RIG
OWNER/OPERATORS started as one guy and a hard drive. It isn’t anymore - Caleb and Mike are writing members now, in the room when the songs get built and not just when they get tracked.
Owns the instrument, operates it, and takes it apart when it won’t do what he wants.
The name comes from the long-haul owner/operator - the driver who owns the rig he drives.
§3 - CURRENT STATUS
Getting the unglamorous half in order - distribution, socials, making sure the music lands where people can actually find them.

Caleb Ebe. Drums. Owns the kit, operates the kit.
§1 - WHAT HE DOES
Real drums against programmed parts. The songs have to stay danceable without sounding quantized, which is the whole job. Where the album leaned on session players, Caleb is re-cutting the takes in his own hand and tracking what comes next.
§2 - CURRENT STATUS
Re-cutting drums and working on the next record.

Mike Shumann. Bass. Owns the rig, operates the rig.
§1 - WHAT HE DOES
Locked-in basslines - the part of doom-groove that makes it groove. Songs built for dancing need a floor that doesn’t move. Where the album was tracked solo, Mike is re-cutting bass in his own hand and writing what comes next.
§2 - CURRENT STATUS
Re-cutting bass and working on the next record.
