Mailbox | Chameleon In A Kaleidoscope

Whale Helmet
Listen to Greg and Adam discuss this album on the Whale Helmet Podcast

This was the first “real” Mailbox album. There were demo tapes (actual cassette tapes) before this, of course. But this was the first time I used real studio equipment to record a full-length project.

Originally recorded in 1995, it was time to revisit and painstakingly remix the debut album for its 25th anniversary. The result doesn’t just sound a lot better but it has more energy and life and I was able to present an additional albums-worth of bonus material.

As with most first albums, I had tons of material but I wasn’t really sure what I wanted my debut to be. I didn’t know how I wanted this hobby of mine to be received by the public. So I tried a little bit of everything. There some geek rock, acoustic pop, prog and even a spoken-word epic.
