Debut Album SOUNDS OFF 10 year Anniversary Release - May 2010

SOUNDS OFF was released in Richmond, VA on October 9, 2000. It is finally being released digitally through CDBABY and will be available on iTunes on 5/12/2010. Recorded in downtown Richmond and produced by Josh Scolaro and Jason Horst, it was recorded for $300 on an 8 track machine. Much of the albums' charm lies in its fun, loose spirit, and in the way some errors, inside jokes, and 'moments' were left in. Its not the one to start with if you're new to David Brookings, but he has not since made a record as fun or lo-fi as SOUNDS OFF
