YES YES EP is the debut release by Clayliens. It features four tracks that range from electronic dance to carnival music to video game soundtrack.
(A bit of history...)
The Clayliens are from outer space and crash landed on Earth via a comet. They were found by some weird art kid and discovered they could collaborate on some music in exchange for a place to crash.
Eight tracks came from the collaboration fairly quickly and then 2020 happened and they didn't know whether to release these as an album and how to go about mixing and mastering the sessions.
The following two years were spent mastering the skills necessary to publish this music with some art as well to go along with it. We tried to do clay replicas of the aliens (they refuse to be photographed), but the financial cost was a burden as no one around town will hire the Clayliens for work.
Through time a computer magically appeared and away went with learning software to replicate the Clayliens at an overall cheaper cost.
After enough time making periodic small tweaks and learning applications, the Clayliens decided to Master the EP at La Bija Factory Of Sound Recording in Portland, OR by Andrew Yeghiazarian and release four of the eight tracks as an EP. And here we are!
Okay, I think that's it. There's another EP coming next year. Bye!
