We recently visited Disc Makers - they gave us a tour and we gave them an interview. We recommend their digipak highly. Their project managers are patient and follow through with lovely product. Amen.

excerpt: "In August, The Sky Drops self-released their debut album, Bourgeois Beat, recorded at Montejo’s home studio in North Wilmington. It shows the band haven’t lost the advantage. There’s the familiar disorientation—the grind-and-stomp of “Sentimental,” or the ocean of guitar in “Throw Your Weight”—and the surges of sound that are astonishing for a two-player format. (“Like the Carpenters?” Bullette offers, catching me before I say, “Like the White Stripes.”) But there are departures that make the trip more winding and confusing. “Stone White” is built around heavy chords and drums, but it’s the gentle vocals that take it somewhere, the meshing of male and female voices awash in faint feedback. On “Long Way,” the voices are so close together it’s hard to tell who’s singing. Sounds blend together until they make other sounds. Mostly, though, the band seems to be embracing the power of restraint, and it makes for an incredibly lucid set of songs. On the melodic verses of “Swimming with Fishes” and the almost-unplugged “Sleepless,” things feel more electric when the amps are turned off."
