Mixed Signals is here

Oversat has released the first in a four album arch. Part 1 is "Mixed Signals." A 6 song EP that details what's to come on the Oversat rollercoaster. We did a soft launch on May 1st. The press has been decent so  far, with a couple of interviews and one album review so far. We have a really great media manager, big thanks to Neil for everything he does. Here's what one reviewer said: 
"Although the sort of music that would have caused me to have night terrors as a child...it certainly has its own dark, frenetic appeal. These recordings also hold a lot of visual power as images of performances are easily conjured without even the smallest frame of reference."

You can download the album at our bandcamp page: Oversat's Bandcamp. Everything was mixed and mastered by the man himself, Scott Minor. We just started a promotional tour for the album. We also just started recording part 2 of this 4 album arch, "Summer Saved Me." This will also be an EP, it will contain 7 songs. 

In related news, Oversat alum Alka-Jon just posted a video of his kids singing a song that will appear on part 3, "In The City." The "In The City" album will be a full length. In true Oversat fashion, it probably won't sound much like it's predecessor. We're really excited about some of the songs on that one, it's got a huge sound.

We're going to post a teaser video for "Summer Saved Me" and for "In The City" (featuring Alka-Jon's kids) in the next couple of weeks. I come post links to some of our press as well. Until then, remember that the Walgreens (In the US) have Premium Brew BIG FLATS lager for only $2.99/6 pack. On that note, it's time that I rejoin the tour already in progress. Continue reading on Examiner.com: Mixed Signals lives up to its name - Pittsburgh Music | Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/music-in-pittsburgh/mixed-signals-lives-up-to-its-name-review#ixzz1MvrvKbh9
