Everyday Circus - Mirrors debut album

"The music [...] is straightforward, hands-on rock with just the right amount of heart and passion, that makes the hook stick in your memory." - translated from Visions.de

For the last two years we've been working every single day on our debut album Mirrors. Now, that it is finally completed, it shall be released in any possible way.
When everything has to be perfect, it is virtually impossible to make any kind of compromise.
Which kinda looked like this:

• "Okay, now the songs are exactly as we intended them to be."
• "So let's head to the record studio and stay there as long as it takes for them to sound perfect."
• "Then, the artwork and the videos have to live up to the same standards."
• "And to somehow get people to notice, promotion has to really take off."

And no matter how much you do by yourself, there simply are things, that cost real money.

We want Mirrors to be released on Jan 15, 2016 with everything that goes with it:

• It shall be available as CD, vinyl and download.
• We want to sweeten the wait for you with 3 music videos.
• For people to even notice our album, we're working closely with a promotion agency.

We want to adress all those, who enjoy handmade music, without chasing trends - in short: Just everybody, who feels drawn to our music.

You should support our debut album if you like what we do and if you want to be co-responsible for how things will be going forward for us.

Other than this, supporters will receive the album and detailed insights in its production way before everyone else.

Over the course of the last year, we've accumulated lots of bills. The resulting amount of money we have to pay exceeds the targeted minimum of 3.500€ considerably. So overfinancing would be genius!
But even the required minimum amount would relieve our bank accounts heavily.
Where your money will be directed at exactly, you can see here:

Recording, Mixing and Mastering:
In order to record an album, it just isn't enough to drop a cellphone in a rehearsal room and play your set for one time.
In Phil Hillen from the SU2 Studio we've found our dream producer and true friend. He knew from the getgo where we were going and for that we love him! Unfortunately he can't live off love alone, so money needed to flow.

CD and Vinyl Pressing:
We've written an album with 12 songs, which shall be released on every possible format. CD, download, vinyl, everything will be available! In order to produce all of that, we had to dig deep in our pockets.

Music Videos:
We've filmed 3 music videos for 3 selected songs.
Though we could assemble a team of wonderful people to film and work with us, because they believe in us and the videos, there still are costs for filming equipment like spotlights, cameras and locations.

Promotion
In order to reach people who'd potentially like our music, we are working with a great promotion agency. But again, they can't work for free, because those guys and gals have to make a living, too.

Tour:
In order to celebrate the album release of "Mirrors" in january, we are planning to go on tour. With five-figure fees yet out of sight, we have to pay in advance for things like bus rental, fuel, accomodations and catering. This part of our work would also be relieved by your financial support.
