Self defense family heaven is earth full album


Heaven Is Earth is a studio album by the American rock band Self Defense Family. It's the band's fifth studio album overall, and second effort after changing its name from End of a Year to Self Defense Family. The album was released on June 30, 2015 through Deathwish Inc.

Contents

For Heaven Is Earth, Self Defense Family recorded two tracks with four producers in four different cities on the East Coast of the United States for a total of eight songs. The band recorded with Kurt Ballou of Converge at GodCity Studios in Salem, Massachusetts; with former Orchid and Ampere member Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studio in Ahmerst, Massachusetts; with Jon Low, who previously worked with Kurt Vile and The National, at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and with Mark Miller, who previously worked with Dinosaur Jr. and Garth Brooks, at Sone Lab in East Hampton, Massachusetts.

A limited edition 7" single for the Heaven Is Earth's second track "Talia" accompanied by the B-side track "Taxying," which was an outtake from the album's sessions, was released for Record Store Day 2015 with cover art nearly identical to that of its parent album, with the exception of the person in the center of the image being absent. A release for the music video for "Talia" coincided with the album's official announcement date of May 4, 2015. On the subject of the video, Self Defense Family vocalist Patrick Kindlon said: "The video is not so much inspired by but directly ripped off from the Talk Talk 'It's My Life' music video — the best music video in human history. Eventually, we'll do one of those 'band playing in a warehouse' videos. But until then, you get stock footage of animals." On June 2, Self Defense Family released a music video for the album's closing track, "Dave Sim."
