Four Track Demonstrations by Kara's Flowers

Four Track Demonstrations (1998)

Track Listing:
1. Someone More Comfortable
2. Vanessa 
3. Spoke With Kate (And She Said)
4. If You Only Knew (Acoustic)
5. The Kid With Velvet Eyes (Acoustic)
6. A Piano And Guitar Jam
7. Shayanni's Suprise
8. Feeling Slow
9. The Sentimental Programmer

Recorded during fall of 1998 by Adam and Jesse while attending Five Towns College. The album shows progression by Kara's Flowers as this tape hints at their fresh start and new sound. The album also shows songs that would later end up on Stagg Street Recordings such as If You Only Knew and The Kid With Velvet Eyes. Although some people say this is a Kara's Flowers demo tape, the band has stated that it is not by Kara's Flowers, but Adam and Jesse. The songs were written by both Adam and Jesse respectively. Even though this isn't a Kara's Flowers tape (as in where the whole band plays music), they still performed songs from this demo tape on their live set. The tape is called Four Track Demonstrations because, obviously, the songs were recorded on a four track.

A more clearer version of the cover

Recorded during spring of 1999 and released during fall of 1999. This could be considered as an official self-released album along with We Like Digging?.
Although  it's probably more of an EP. The album name comes from the studio is was recorded in, Stagg Street Studios.
 

NOT THE ALBUM COVER!

 

 




Despite what some may think, the picture to the right is not the album cover. It's not from the same era as when Stagg Street Recordings was recorded. If you go to the Kara's Flowers Reprise Website and go to photo archive, and click on the picture "glitter" you'll find the same picture, but in better quality.
