20 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, December 9, 2010 Georgetown band, The Compound, releases second album Georgetown band, The Compound, has released its second album, It Is What It Is. The 10 tracks were recorded at BWC Studios, recorded and produced Greg Dawson. The album's genre has more of an upbeat "rock/pop" feel throughout with some twists and turns. There are also hints of blues, country, progressive rock and rock ballads. Band member Simon Talevski started writing demos last year after the band had released its first CD, the selftitled, The Compound. "We began to record the new music in May 2010 at BWC studios again where we felt really comfortable working with Greg Dawson. He now knows what sounds we are looking for and has a great ear for arrangements," said Talevski. "The recording process went very quick. It took roughly eight and a half days to lay down all the tracks and about a day and a half to mix and master. We are still surprised at how much power and emotion are in each song, considering the short amount of ties. Without a lot of time to find a replacement, Talevski finish the bass tracks himself. After completing and releasing the album Talevski and Kevin Farmer (drums, percussion, sampling and backing vocals asked a close and local friend, Tommy Lowe to join the band. Now again with three members the band is ready to tour and promote the album. "We are very proud of our latest work and we can't wait to start performing it," said Talevski. "The Compound wants to thank all the support they have been given since 2008, our families, the inspiration for the music we create and of course all of the Georgetown fans who keep us going." Tour dates are still in the works and will be announced as soon as possible.

"Having another lead singer in the studio was a really good experience for both us," said Talevski. "I really love how Sarah's voice mixes with mine. Another additional performance was by Greg Dawson laying down rhythm and lead guitar tracks for some songs on the album. There is a great feel throughout the entire 35-minute album."
