Fades Away

Resurrection Part I

The Challenge

Minneapolis rock band Fades Away had been on hiatus for three years. Family, life, the usual reasons bands go quiet. Coming back meant making a first impression all over again without a label behind them. The album needed to sound like a band that had never left while introducing something distinctly new. The recording situation was anything but conventional.

The approach

We handled production, songwriting, and engineering across a setup that most studios would turn down. Drums tracked in a basement. Vocals cut in a closet converted into a booth. The rest of the record built at the client's home. What could have been a compromise became a constraint that kept the energy live and the process intimate. Remote collaboration held the project together through pre-production, and every decision was made in service of the record Fades Away needed to make, not the one that was easiest to produce.

"BS Creative completely crushed this album. An album is so important when making a first impression about the music and they nailed it."

Fades Away, Frontman

The proof

Resurrection Part I launched June 2018 with radio promotion, national publicity, and a full digital campaign behind it. Without label support, the record crossed 100,000 streams. For a band returning from three years away with something to prove, that's exactly the kind of re-entry that sticks.
