Hallelujah The Hills Fabric Patches
If you've ever touched edges with alternative culture/punk music, you've probably seen someone sporting a denim or leather jacket covered in pins and patches. Long story short, that's the idea here. Boston favorites Hallelujah the Hills recorded their latest LP at 1809 Studios in Macedon, NY in November of 2015, and I played the role of assistant engineer for the five days & nights that they lived in the studio and recorded. As a parting gift, I made an initial run of 8 patches for them. Five for the band, one for the author of their forthcoming biography, one for the producer & owner of 1809 Studios, and one for myself. These process shots were taken in my little kitchen, shortly after the band ordered 50 more patches to sell at shows and give away. I carved their often-used abbreviation "HTH" into a linoleum block, and used that same block for every impression, following a partially-improvised workflow. I learned even more about relief printing by doing it at home. This band is great, and you can learn more at http://www.hallelujahthehills.com.
