Halloween release of Milktooth's 'Halloween in Santa Ana'

Milktooth, named after what is known in southern cultures as a baby tooth, has come a long way since it’s formation in January.

The band’s frontman David Condos sits cool-headed in a local cafe and recalls the release of their debut, self-titled EP and is proud to announce the release of a personalized 7'' vinyl appropriately named "Halloween in Santa Ana" which is more than a treat for listeners. The album is set to be released on the Thursday before Halloween at its release party being held at the Nashville venue, The End.

The band has ingeniously come together to create an epic three song vinyl that is filled with creepy reverberated vocals and dirty distorted bass. Condos believes in the importance of developing a relationship with his listeners and chose to make  "Halloween in Santa Ana" a very special and personalized record.

"Each vinyl sleeve will be hand-stamped by a band member.” Condos says. “The stamp itself was designed by another band member's little sister, so you can see we've put a lot of thought in to this."

Although they believe in taking their time, Condos goes on to explain that the idea for the record itself took a mere four days to finish. For him, it was by far the fastest he's ever put an idea together in the three years he's been working with music.

The vinyl will also include a download code to get the songs in mp3 format, also including the band’s cover of the David Bowie song, "Cat People."

"The idea for covering David Bowie started back at our EP release show in June.” Condos says. “At that point the EP only had six songs so we wanted to fill it in with a cool cover,"

Condos goes on to explain he added his own twist to it that listeners are to look forward to.

"I worked it to my advantage that I wasn't familiar with the song.” he says, “I just looked up the lyrics to it and we gave it our own."

Condos is very happy with how the album sounds. His aim is to impact his listeners and create a sort of 'chill factor' that he illustrates by mentioning Radiohead's album, Amnesiac".

"I like impassioned music, the kind that gives you those unexplained chills.” he says. “We're just trying to make everything sound raw and live."
