Invasion

-

2008 saw sandweaver crank up their live sound a gear and their dubut album INVASION.  The band took a stride forward with the experimentation of more recent tracks recorded on the album and have included additonal programmed drum triggers and innovative bass effects into both the recordings and stage show. 

As the Album was written and developed over 3 years of on and off writing and recording, so the influences and subjectivity has changed in the thought process behind the tracks. The band has revisited recordings and previous guides with engineer/producer Mike baker and reworked parts and structured the songs into a 'kind of' concept ablum. Titled 'Invasion' the ablum has a underlined intergalatic theme running thoughout coupled with emotions of Lust, love and lost.
