Out Now!

Here we go: The final Call Me Greenhorn release of April! Entitled Chasing the Dawn this is actually way more 80s New Wave than my other stuff and there’s a background story to that. A couple of months ago I stumbled across this kick-ass movie project to start production this fall and immediately got in touch with the producers trying to pimp my shit, uh, let them know I was willing and available if they needed some fitting audio.

They replied with “Great, thanks!” but informed me that the They Call Me Superseven tracks I sent as examples of my work wasn’t that retro-sounding as they had in mind – the movie in itself is very 80′s – so I spent that following weekend channeling John Carpenter recording the title track and the chase-theme Across the City just to prove that yes, I can do New Wave too! Mission accomplished as they got back with a much more positive response they’ll definitely get back to me to secure either one of the tracks or having me create a similar one for their feature.

Three tracks in total, including the kinda weird Skulking – that sounds like some damn trippy theme for an old Nintendo game – so check it out on my Bandcamp here, give it a spin below and share away!

F-Bomb

Here we go: Making friends. Dropping the f-bomb. Heading for mainstream success. Been quite a busy weekend and it finished off with killer news followed by even more killer news – I’m gonna wait a little while longer before I make that piece of news official, so all I can say is now is that when it rains it sure pours. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative thing. Gonna practice my John Hancock to make sure my signature looks just right. Heck, I might even frame the damn thing once everything’s worked out.

Anyway, while your scratching your head over that one, howsabout some soothing music to ease your neurons? Just finished up Call Me Greenhorn‘s Yeah, Well Fuck You Too and decided to upload the unmastered track on my Soundcloud to whet the appetite for the full length release in June. It’s kinda funny – if you’ve got my weird sense of humor that is – and it’s always nice doing something aimed towards the less-than-open minded music fans out there. Or – even worse – musicians. But the feedback’s been cool so far so I guess it wasn’t as “out there” as I imagined.

The artwork was once again one of those made-up-on-the-spot kinda deals using an idea originally intended for the full length. But I already used robot imagery for The Norliss Tapes and if there’s one thing I really don’t like it is repeating myself. So, coming in roughly two months from now, check it out below and once again please share!

Armageddon Dub – the video

copyright Robert Boud 2013!

I’M EXCITED AS HECK TO ANNOUNCE that UK photographer Robert Boud will be directing the video for Call Me Greenhorn‘s  Armageddon Dub based on his Aftermath Apocalypse Photography project. He’s perfect for it as his imagery fits the feel of the song so good it’s eerie.

Drawing inspiration from surrealism and horror, his portfolio shows work that is dark and powerful without ever resorting to cheap shock value. It’s thought provoking and visually stunning – disturbing pieces of art, but art nonetheless.

I am thrilled beyond belief to have him do this for me and can’t wait to see the finished results. Make sure you check out his portfolio at robboudphotography.wordpress.com. I’ll keep you updated on the video as it progresses.

Spoonful

For those who enjoyed Richard Gale‘s The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon I wrote about in 2012  - and the last time I checked it had over 22 million views on YouTube so there’s no doubting its popularity - I was happily surprised discovering that the story of poor Jack and his utensil-loving nemesis Ginosaji has continued into a web series!

Three parts so far, and if you thought the original ten-minute short film was silly and surreal you should definitely check out these episodes. I’m not gonna spoiler but Jack kinda snaps, rides a bus, goes to the Happy Place and there’s a squirrel involved as well. Check it out!

Chasing the Dawn!

copyright Sellergren Design 2013!

COMING NEXT WEEK! As April draws to a close it’s time to launch the third (and final) Call Me Greenhorn release of the month: Chasing the Dawn! Three 80′s sounding tracks in the sort of New Wave vein written specifically for an upcoming feature film set in 1980′s Los Angeles. Think Carpenter, ninjas and neon.

There’s an unmastered rough mix teaser taste available on my SoundCloud, so go get a taste here, or just listen below. As always share away and spread the word!

Yeah. I’m working on a new song for Call Me Greenhorn. It’s called Yeah, Well Fuck You Too. I’ll send you an MP3.

No Way Out!

copyright Sellergren Design 2013!

Well, apologies for completely missing out on posting these, as the CD itself was released a couple of weeks ago: Check out the spiffin’ artwork I made for Dead By Mono‘s third installment in their No Way Out! compilation series. Completely going for a Tales From the Crypt vibe, I also went with threes as the theme while completely nerding out showing off my “trash culture” influences.

Like I wrote yesterday, this also features The Norliss Tapes making their physical debut with A Trip To the Moon and you can buy your copy of the CD here and download the digital EP via our Bandcamp here. On to the art!

The CD booklet folds out into a full-color poster.

Turn it around and you get all the bios and band pics. NOTE: This .png is the incomplete version as I still didn’t have all bios at hand.

The CD.

The tray card.

No Way Out! Vol. 3

Speaking of The Norliss Tapes; Did you get Dead By Mono‘s compilation No Way Out! Vol. 3 CD? Twenty tracks of garage, beat, surf and instrumentals from all over the world, including A Trip To the Moon! Available via their official website in both physical form as well as digital downloads – complete and individual tracks. Check it out here and buy the complete EP at our Bandcamp here.

Oh, I completely forgot! I still haven’t posted the artwork on this page. It’s kick-ass! I’ll sort it out this coming week, stay tuned.

The Norliss Tapes’ Big Break!

We’ll hook you in and then jack up the prices!

Hello Cleveland! We have arrived! Well, at least The Norliss Tapes had their first attempt of getting their site on Bandcamp hacked – so I’m guessing we have a really big fan out there that just needs to get his or her (although I’m guessing him) mitts on our stuff. I know, I know, I think we’re onto something pretty damn unique with this outfit too, and even though it still appears to be “too weird” for some I’ve noticed that we do grow on you. It just takes time.

Now, I haven’t run this by Staffan – Segel that is, the other half of said band -  but I think he’s cool with me giving our unnamed fan the following offer: If you are that desperate for some Norliss tunage please do get in touch with us and we’ll work something out for you. How ‘about writing us a blurb on our Facebook?
