The six tracks on these three singles document the very first time Mike McCready & Kate Neckel collaborated on their Sound Painting Series. As Mike experimented with atmospheric soundscapes and guitar loops, Kate created the visual piece with various mediums on a large canvas, each influencing the other during this initial session. What was captured, both musically and on canvas, are majestic & ethereal. Hope you enjoy these special and limited releases, which are the songs that influenced Infinite Color & Sound's first painting, Mellowtron Shots.You can buy all three singles as a set ($39 + $8 domestic S&H + tax) or individually ($15 + $6 domestic S&H + tax). The tracks are below, in order left to right.

In 1965 Jim Whittaker led Senator Robert Kennedy to the first ascent of a remote mountain in the Yukon named after the late president, JFK. Fifty years later, the sons of the original climbing team—a raucous band manager, a candidate for governor, and a young mountaineer—embark on an expedition to the mountain to celebrate the special bond that connects them all. Featuring unreleased instrumentals by Eddie Vedder and never before seen footage and photos of Robert Kennedy, the feature-length documentary sits at the intersection of politics, human rights, environmentalism and adventure.
“It’d be fun to record or even just write a song together,” bassist Jeff Ament says. “I think when Chris [Cornell] passed, that’s really been a tough one to wrap our heads around, and then there’s just life stuff.”... but ultimately, has no explanation as to why the band hasn't worked together to record an album.
“We’ve gone in, probably, four or five times in the last couple of years, so we have a whole ton of unfinished stuff,” Ament says. “We’re just sort of in a little bit of limbo. I’m sure everybody’s got a bunch more riffs, and I’m sure Ed’s got a handful of journal lyrics. It’s just going to take us all getting into a room together for six weeks and just knocking something out.”Stone is reassuring that they are still working on an album ...
“We’re going to make a record, and we’re in the middle of it,” the guitarist says. “We’re just going to keep plugging away until we get one done.”Unfortunately, those are not the words of a band with a passionate message to get out. Although Stone admits that he enjoyed being able to release "Can't Deny Me," there is little else in the article to tell us that the band is excited about working on this album. We're either going to be waiting a long time, or we're going to get an album from a bored band, writing and performing out of a sense of obligation.
