Any Requests? - February Cover Suggestions

Now that SINGLARITY Acoustic has been well and truly rounded off, we've got a hankering to record some new covers! 

That being said, we thought we'd put if to the floor and see what songs you'd like to hear given the Area 11 treatment.  

Requests can be ANY GENRE & ANY ARTIST! 

Put your cover suggestion(s) in the comments and next week we'll choose our favourites and thrash 'em out for ya.  

PEACE!

Floating World [Downloads]

Well here we are Elevens, our last Patreon post of 2020! Thanks to all of you who stuck with us this year and meant we could keep going through this difficult time, we're very thankful for each and every one of you!

Here's high quality versions of Floating World, the track we made for Netflix! If you've not seen the music video yet, you really should right away: https://www.youtube.com/wa...

Howdy Elevens,

It's been a crazy month. We've been spending our lockdown working on what is probably the most exciting thing we've done all year, but due to the nature of it and certain legal documents we've signed, we can't say what it is. But trust us when we say, you're gonna love it. I expect it'll come out in mid December, but currently we're waiting on approval which could take a day, could take a month, who knows.

As we've been real busy we've not manage...

SINGLARITY CD

Hey Elevens!

Tomorrow we're going to release the very limited edition SINGLARITY CD (and a bunch of related merch) for pre-order. However, we're releasing it now to you guys to give you a headstart and a 11% discount on the CD! We also have a bunch of bundles offering 20% and 25% off.

All the products are here and will be on sale just to you guys until tomorrow evening...

Ghost Town (The Specials Cover) [Downloads]

Happy Spooky Season Elevens!

We've recorded this spooky spooky cover just in time for All Hallow's Eve. We were deciding on a Halloween cover, and reading the lyrics to this bad boy we realised it was absolutely perfect for what's going on outside:

This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more

Please let us know how you're spending Hall...

London Calling (The Clash Cover) [Downloads]

We've not done a cover in a while, and we learnt how to play this back in February before the world went wrong so we figured we'd remember the good times and record it for real.

This is the first track we've made in Sparkles*' new studio! Which still needs a name. Suggestions in the comments please!

Enjoy guys, more stuff coming soon, thanks for the support as always!

SINGLARITY DEMONETISED - VOLUME TWO [Downloads]

Here you go guys, the second half of the SINGLARTIY demos!

We'll let you enjoy listening through these! They all have 2 demos, apart from the final track Singularity which has three, the first one was recorded in 2015 during the writing process of Modern Synthesis. Kaleidoscope too was written during Mod Synth, but then we added a new chorus which Sparkles* and Kogie wrote in Berlin in 2017. 

We hope you enjoy hearing how ...

UPDATES

We hope you're having a good end of August.

We've been very busy this month and have a few things to announce.

Underline (Complete) [Downloads]

AVAILABLE TO MUSIC-TIER PATRONS FOR A MONTH ONLY - download it now! Will still be available for Team 11 Patrons after this.

We've been through the archives and dug out a few demos, some instrumentals and the original Underline EP record for you guys this month! Includes the three demos of the main EP tracks, plus live rehearsal and writing jams (with VERY strange, early versions of the songs) and a whole track we rejected from being on the EP! Let us...

2000 Screens 2020 - Live Set [Downloads]

If you caught our 2000 Screens set (the virtual, online-only version of the 2000 Trees festival) you might have noticed that we only had 1 song. Well, we actually recorded 4, and here they are, for you guys, our favourite patrons. As well as the video, we've also included the audio files!

We recorded this live (individually) and then it was edited together, so it's as 'live' as you can get during lockdown. Let us know if you want to see more of this stuff, if you've ...

SINGLARITY Acoustic

Here are all 11 of the SINGLARITY tracks, but with an acoustic twist. We've tried to avoid any electronic instruments, and just to warn you, things get a little wacky in the middle (I'm looking at you barbershop quartet Kaleidoscope), but it's all right in the end!

We didn't do any sea shanties, that might have been a mistake. Let us know if it was a mistake in the comments. Also let us know if you'd prefer to have the whole thing as zip files rather than each indivi...

Every You Every Me (Placebo Cover) [Downloads]

Thanks to Andrew McCabe for suggesting this one! It's fun making covers. It's even more fun making originals. We're making originals right now. New EP this month, who's ready?

Just a Day (Feeder Cover) [Downloads]

Thanks to Rooney for this cover idea! Sparkles* especially is quite a big fan of Feeder and he's seen them live a bunch of times. Kogie met them one time backstage at a gig. Sparkles* is jealous and it still bothers him from time to time.

There's another cover coming in the next couple of days so keep your peepers open for that one!

Thanks for the support guys, June's the big EP month so get hype!

Plug in Baby (MUSE Cover) [Downloads]

Thanks to Shane Andrews for this suggestion! It's about time we did a MUSE cover, this was very fun to record and mix. Hope you're doing well in the lockdown guys, looks like it might be lifting soon 🤞. More covers coming in the next couple of weeks, keeping adding your suggestions into the May Cover Suggestions comments and maybe we'll pick yours!

Thanks, as always, fo...

Official Minecraft Server

Howdy Elevens!

Due to people requesting this on stream, we've decided to host an official Minecraft server. Right now it's running on Java edition version 14.4.2 and it's pure vanilla survival, with no mod support so essentially it's anarchy. So far from what I've seen people have been pretty friendly though, but I'd go find yourself a nice secluded base.

We'll be running games and things on there in the next few weeks as part of livestreams, which we've starte...

SINGLARITY #10 [Downloads]

UPDATE: New cover art!

Well, here we are Elevens, the final #SINGLARITY. We've done it. 11 tracks, one a month (kinda). Did anyone think we'd make it? We are very excited to present to you the final track Singularity. It starts quiet but gets loud; it's an ode to the times we're all living through right now. Stay safe out there.

And so we come to the end of the road. It's been fun, and we're exciting for the future of the band and the new proje...

SINGLARITY #09 - Dancing on the Head of a Pin [Downloads]

Hey Elevens! We've been waiting for the artwork for this before we posted it, and amazingly everything's come together right at the end of the month. We're super excited to share this new track with you, it's called Dancing on the Head of a Pin.

So here's something a bit special. We started writing this song during the Modern Synthesis sessions in Italy, and we've been saving it for a good moment. And we figured, it's 2020, we're finally living in the future, so it's time, and we've spent the last few weeks re-working it and writing fresh new lyrics.

This song is called (Break) In Case Of...
