Hello こんにちは Hallo 喂 Zdravo Bonjour Halo Ciao Witaj Olá Hola

We are pleased to announce that we are able to sell our album directly here on our website in digital and physical form! There will be strictly limited copies of both available due to in-store release schedules.

The artwork for the CD has been completed and the master disc is off to manufacturing. In the next few days we hope to announce a Pre-Release sales date for Dollhouse.

For sale will be a 320kbps MP3 version as well as a Digipak CD version of the record.

The digital album will include the cover art and lyrics embedded into the mp3, as well as the full album artwork in high resolution with credits. It will be available at 320Kbps which is a higher quality than iTunes and most other online stores. It will also be DRM free, so that you can copy it to your own personal devices.

The physical CD will be in premium Digipak form with embedded CD Text and will include the signature of each band member as well as your name.

By purchasing the Digipak CD, you will also receive membership to the Medollic Entourage. This entitles you to post on the private forums on Medollic.com, signs you up to the newsletter (you can unsubscribe later) and allows for entry into Entourage competitions that will be run.

We would like to thank you for your support as we continue to be heard all around the world!

Lix, James, Steve.

To follow on from our recent release of samples here on this site as well as on our MySpace and Last FM sites (links on the left hand side), we've taken another step towards the release of our album Dollhouse.

We're happy to reveal the album's cover design!

We'll have more information regarding releases and tours in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned and sign up to the Fan News on the left to stay up to date with the band and our movements!

Medollic's album Dollhouse is finally finished and has been mastered by Eric Conn (Dixie Chicks, Garth Brookes, Skid Row) of Independent Mastering in Nashville.

We're really proud of how it sounds and we're also proud of the dynamic range presented in the recording.

You may notice that our record sounds fractionally lower in apparent volume than some other rock recordings. This is because the RMS (average volume) of the recording is lower, overall. We have elected to allow more drums, more guitars, more bass, more vocals to expand within the same space, where other bands might give you a recording that takes up all the space.

The result is that you may need to nudge up your volume knob on whatever you are playing it on. It will sound better, bigger and rockier than the majority of other modern recordings when they are listened to at the same output level. Other recordings will sound squashed and lacking in punch and space.

Some albums that are at a similar overall level to Dollhouse are: ACDC's Back In Black, The Living End's The Living End, Rage Against The Machine's Rage Against The Machine, The Wallflowers' Bringing Down The Horse, John Mayer's Continuum, The Spin Doctors' Pocket Full of Kryptonite, Bruce Springsteen's Magic, Cake's Fashion Nugget, Ryan Adams' Gold and Live's Throwing Copper.

A really great explanation is given here:

Over the last 10 years, music producers (like myself!) and mastering engineers are increasingly being asked to make their music sound as loud as possible to the initial listen. All this does is make you turn it down to a level that suits your ears. With our recording, you will take it to the level that suits your ears, but you will be immersed in much more sound and it will not hurt your ears over periods of extended listening (which we expect you to be doing!).

"It's a natural sounding rock record-- like they used to sound like! You remember, good songs, good players, rocking out? Where'd that go? HEY! Here it is!"
-- Eric Conn (Independent Mastering) on mastering Medollic's Dollhouse album.

We hope you appreciate the dynamics and quality of the recording as we try to take back the art of music production!

James.

While everybody else celebrates Australia Day, Lix and James are working on the final two songs for the Medollic album. We've got 8 ground-breaking mixes done and we've only got two more songs to sing on!

Of course, we are recording at James' studio and he's producing the record as well as playing the guitars, bass and keys.

We're also in the process of updating our website to ensure that news is up to date and easy for us to manage.

The end of the road is near and we're excited about what lies ahead.
