It all started in the late 1980s in
Tallahassee, Florida. Five guys in town to go to
college. Then they do what many students do when they
come across new people in a new environment. They form a
band, and that band was Zombie Birdhouse. The band became a local and regional phenomenon, creating a massive following at two north Florida university towns: Florida State University in Tallahassee, and the University of Florida in Gainesville. Zombie Birdhouse not only played the club and bar scene, but toured extensively, and opened for national bands when they came to the southeast. The music magic created by Zombie Birdhouse was as if it were ordained by the universe. Talented musicians and songwriters all intersect in the same place and point in time, and it wasn’t long before their songs lead to their first and only full album, Window Pane. Released on cassette and the still relatively new compact disc, it sold thousands of copies regionally, and thousands more were “unofficial” college student created dupes. Music recording technology has changed much since the creation of this album. It was recorded to multi-track analog tape and mixed as two-channel stereo recording. The songs on Window Pane were produced by then up and coming, and now legendary music producer John Kurzweg. The tracks were recorded in Florida at Mirror Image studios in Gainesville, and Blue Moon Studios in Tallahassee. Just as quickly as new bands form in university towns, Zombie Birdhouse disbanded just as rapidly, leaving behind this legacy called Window Pane. Many years later, Bruce Barkwill, the executive producer of Window Pane decided to have the album remastered digitally by legendary mastering engineer Rodney Mills. The remaster is being released by TimBark2 Music LLC’s imprint, TB2 Records. Those that listened to the original release of Window Pane, whether on cassette or CD, will undoubtedly be stunned by the sonic improvement of the songs. However you listened to or heard the songs of Zombie Birdhouse, whether recorded or live, it is hoped that you not only enjoy the new sonics of the remaster, but also feel some of that good old nostalgia. |
