The Last Broadcast is the second full-length album from Little Dipper. It features 11 songs recorded, mixed, and mastered here at Three Rabbits with additional tracks recorded at Fish On Fire Recordings. It is the first full-length recording we’ve completed, and our largest project to date. All of the rhythm tracks as well as a handful of guitar and vocal tracks were done on location at Little Dipper’s rehearsal space. The bulk of the guitar and vocal tracks were then finished at Three Rabbits along with the final mix and mastering.
The band wanted to focus on a raw sound to match the grittier songs on the release. What we ended up with is a record that sounds like Little Dipper when you hear them live. The rhythm section is driving. It’s grinding and downright nasty in places, but there is also a subtlety to some of the tracks. There are some smooth vocal melodies with unique topics and introspective lyrics. As expected, there are plenty of scratchy guitars. It sounds a bit different from their first release, but it is unmistakeably Little Dipper.
The sessions started with 18 tracks for consideration, but for several reasons, 7 tracks were omitted at various stages of the project. Don’t be surprised if they turn up somewhere. For more information or to get a copy of the album, go to LittleDipper.us.
