Search - D.W. Holiday :: Fish and Flying Creatures

When `Technical Difficulties, Under The Influence...' was released, it marked a new direction for the band as critics, college radio, and music fans began to take notice. The album was created under the duress of multiple band members quitting and Craig moving to another State during production. By the time the album hit the streets, there were two bands performing the same songs under the name D.W. Holiday - one in Minneapolis (fronted by Craig), and one in San Francisco (fronted by Dan). In 2005, once he finally accepted that it's his only home, Craig moved back to California and the pair began working on a follow-up to the highly successful `Technical Difficulties, Under The Influence'. The resulting composition, `Fish and Flying Creatures', is a testament to the growth and maturity of the band. But in a way, this is D.W. Holiday's firstborn. The years of shaping, refining, and honing their signature sound are now behind them. This is D.W. Holiday with an epidural of surreal guitars, desperate vocals, goodwill keyboards and off-kilter beats surrounded by swarms of hungry thick bass tones. No longer weighed down by fear, D.W. Holiday finally gave birth to their sound, it's a boy, and its name is 'Fish and Flying Creatures'. Recorded, mixed, and produced by Craig Clarke and Daniel Crowell (credits include The Bother, Chow Nasty, elephone), Mastered by Chris Cline (credits include ...Trail of Dead, Scrabbel, elephone, Rykarda Parasol).
