from FuzzHeavy Sampler - February 2019, released February 28, 2019
Thunderbird Divine's "Magnasonic" is its first official recording. The band's four members, Erik Caplan, Mike Stuart, Flynn Lawrence and Adam Scott, joined forces in March 2017, and this collection is the fruit of their union.

Drawing influences from both standard and diverse sources, Thunderbird Divine wrangled instrumentation uncommonly used in rock's usual vernacular, such as marxolin, mandolin, synthesizers and other oddities to create unexpected tones mixed with classic arrangements. The result is music with depth and textural complexity not usually experienced with a band's first outing.

Recorded by Ted Richardson (TedAudio-- www.facebook.com/TedAudio) and Charles Newman (Cottage Sounds-- www.facebook.com/cottagesounds/) in Philadelphia and Brooklyn respectively, "Magnasonic" shows a band unafraid to experiment with sounds without abandoning the essential nature of hard rock and psychedelia.

The album was mixed by Charles Newman, who had unenviable task of balancing a multitude of sometimes divergent sound sources to create these solid, creative and sonically dense songs.
