EP III Release Day

Happy Friday!

Check out the first piece about the full EP from ER and the PopDust team at
http://www.popdust.com/premiere-stereo-off-iii-2235742798.html

Listen to it there too!

“There are glimpses of Beach House (“Wolves”), Miami Horror (“Sunsetting”), and The xx (“Venir”) in Stereo Off’s artful new record. They’re absolutely in good company, but that’s not to say they don’t carve out their own place. On III, we see a band that’s grown comfortable in their sound, and is more than ready to continue contorting it.”

And yes, you can buy the EP now at:

Joy of Violent Movement & Music Emissions Coverage

Double thanks to JoVM – They covered us a couple years back and have featured us again at https://joyofviolentmovement.com/2017/01/09/new-audio-stereo-off-returns-with-a-dance-floor-friendly-new-order-inspired-new-single/

“the newly constituted trio’s sound has become more dance floor friendly as the band pairs a sinuous bass line with shimmering synths, Marciano sultry and plaintive vocals, a tight motorik-like groove and their while retaining renowned penchant for crafting tight, anthemic hooks.”

While “Music Emissions” also wrote about us back on the first EP, but featured us again this week at:
http://www.musicemissions.com/blog/news/press-release-roundup-january-6/

“After some lineup changes in the past year, 2016 brought on a new sound, which is clear on lead single “Sunsetting” from their upcoming third EP” (and right above, you can preview the 2nd single, Venir).

Thanks!

Coverage of Sunsetting

Thanks to everyone with their recent coverage of Sunsetting: here’s a few new ones we have seen. Send us any more you find!

Turn Up that Volume: “So much to discover with every spin. And, yes, it feels like a nocturnal symphony made to soundtrack your trippy promenade with your lover in the city while the sun goes down. Music for romantics. Music for urban phantasies. Music with a healing force. ”

Nooga:http://nooga.com/174679/notes-from-left-of-the-dial-alejandra-oleary-and-more/
“Stereo Off manages to take a compressed pop atmosphere and unravel it into a chromatic and circuital space for deconstructing their given influences.”

RARWriter – http://rarwriter.com/LinksNYC.htm
“This is had quite a dramatic impact on the nature of the Stereo Off sound, which based on this first single “Sunsetting” is rich and dark, like the Cowboy Junkies on Disco. It’s a cool sound.”

Newswhistle – Toptunes from around the worldnewswhistle.com/bruno-mars-feder-stereo-off-top-tunes-from-around-the-world/

They also interviewed us back in October, so if you missed that, check out http://newswhistle.com/they-come-to-rock-your-body-why-its-on-for-stereo-off/

Sunsetting Debut

New song! CLRVYNT reviews and debuts sunsetting which you can check out at http://clrvynt.com/stereo-off-sunsetting/

“Sunsetting’ is about jumping into or onto your vehicle of choice, picking up your lover and chasing the sunset together.”

Hit it up on instagram too – https://www.instagram.com/p/BMWfYm9D4cu/

Cheers to our guest Saxaphone player – James McElewaine

saxamaphone, saxamaphone, saxamaphone!

EP3 coming soon, its as certain as the new year. Loads of changes to come on the site, the lineup, the world, we’ve been working on it and now its ready for you.

The Things We Do – Music Video

Check out our new video for “The Things We Do” off of our 2nd EP, “The Long Hot Winter”.

schabutomepallpa

With this video, we wanted to make it more of a background piece, something that fit with the music and feel of the song a bit more, and we hope it in fact enhances that a bit more. Unlike our other videos and many a sound-tracked video, this one has considerably much less characters to it for instance. However, there is a deeper story in itself about dreams of escapism yet being captivated by captivity.

Last but not least, much thanks to Justin for all the help filming it and letting me drag him to loads of locations around the city even after he thought the shots were all done.

Winter Film Awards 48 Hour Challenge Winners (Soundtrack by Stereo Off)

Winners were announced yesterday for the Winter Film Awards 2016, and the 48 hour challenge. By that we mean 48 hours to write a screenplay, assemble props, costumes and actors, rehearse, shoot, score and edit their film.

Team Deviant Children Production won the fan favorite award with the film above, and perhaps part of that was the soundtrack/credits by Stereo Off!? Either way, loads of congrats, cheers and thanks to Nicholas Ortiz, K Gaines and the team.

48Z – 2016 Winter Film Awards

Check out Stereo Off in the sound track to 48Z, an entrant in the 2016 WINTER FILM AWARDS in which you had 48 hours to make a film. Directed by Nicholas Ortiz and featuring K. Gaines, among a cast of great characters. Check it out and vote at https://www.youtube.com/embed/yEk3fVm1-X8?rel=0

The summary: “What would YOU do if you were randomly assigned a film genre, a quote about being annoying in NY and had a one-hour permit to shoot in Grand Central Station? Could you make an awesome short film in 48 hours?”

Zombies! Photographs! Stereo Off! Cast your vote on Youtube today.

Automated – featured in Audio Fuzz

audiofuzz-stereo

Thanks to Audiofuzz for the mention on “Hot Music For Cold Cruising Days: Stereo Off – “Automated” http://audiofuzz.com/hear/hot-music-for-cold-cruising-days-stereo-off-automated/

“This is another great song from Stereo Off. From the pulsating bass (something out of Heaven 17) to the glistening keyboards (think Duran Duran with keyboards accented) to guitar riffs (Echo and the Bunnymen) to that heavenly voice of Sebastian soaring high above it all.” Well, that covers it then. Now listen to it at https://soundcloud.com/stereo-off/automated
