The original intention of The Builders and the Butchers was to make funeral music, but on the way to the cemetery something changed. An album, like any piece of art, is an artifact of a time - in a world where the process of listening to and obtaining music has never been cheaper or easier, vinyl is a last hold out. You can tell when you're holding the weight of wax in your hand, that you're connected to what you are doing. The first Builders and Butchers record is also an artifact of a time. Recorded in the living room of a house on SE Division St. in Portland, Oregon in 2007, the album was recorded with no expectation, with the band just wanting to document the songs folks had been gathering to sing along to since their first shows in the fall of 2005.
