Written and Performed by 37.5: The Band:

Hip Jazz
An odd blend of jazz, hip hop, and rock, and a great example of all of our influences, from Nuno Bettencourt to Steve Vai to John Scofield. This song is all over the place sonically, with clean, distorted, and pitch shifted lead guitar sounds, upright acoustic bass and electric slapped bass, and a mix of electronic and acoustic drums.

Shenoli Keit
The anti-Tracey song. She hates this one for some reason. One of the heavier songs we've done, it features a Malmsteen-style melody, some insane Belew-esque leads, and an orchestral-style bridge with a fairly complex time signature change-up at the end. Some may say it's unlistenable in places, to which we respond, "You're just not listening hard enough, stupid."

Wavelength
Recorded for "The Adrian Belew Tribute Album". Originally written and performed by The Bears, an amazing band featuring Adrian Belew and Rob Fetters on vocals. It was pointless to even consider doing a version with vocals, since it would never come close to Belew's, so it was turned into an instrumental. The chord progression was slightly reharmonized, and an improvised guitar solo was added. An absolutely beautiful song, with or without vocals.

Produced by 37.5 Productions:

How The Story Goes
Written and Performed by Marcel Tirado. This is the first song we produced for Marcel, and it is one of his best. An excellent song by any measure, it also features "37.5: The Sound", which will soon be more sought after than Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound".

Valor
Another song by Marcel, yet much heavier than the others. It's got some good "Vs" Era Pearl Jam-esque drums, and a ton of highly distorted guitars.

Raleigh
A nice acoustic tune by Marcel. A stripped down production with no drums or electric guitars, it also features background vocals and shaker by Graham.

Lindy
A spectacular song by a spectacular artist, The Scarecrow. Featuring guitar, bass, and drums by Graham.
