In honor of Milktooth’s first year as a band, we decided to return to the studio and record new versions of a few songs we’ve been playing over the past twelve months. The idea was to deconstruct the songs down to their cores and then play them together live in a totally different style than how they had been previously released, with the help of violinist Eleonore Denig. We ended up recording five songs in one day (two songs from the EP, two songs from the vinyl, and a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”) and even captured HD video of the process.

The Acoustic Sessions were produced in Nashville by Tom Laune (R.E.M., Alex Chilton) and mastered in Montreal, QC by Harris Newman (Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade) and are now available as part of our “Halloween in Santa Ana / Acoustic Sessions” deluxe package. With this package, you’ll receive our brand new DVD (with over 90 minutes of footage from the past year), the Halloween in Santa Ana 7-inch vinyl, and the instant digital downloads of all eight recordings.
