Aaltars
The second studio album from Codes.
The self-produced, independently released sophomore effort from Codes was recorded in the band's studio space in London and between Modern World Studios, Gloucestershire and Roundhead Studios in Auckland New Zealand where it was mixed and edited by Clint Murphy (Manic Street Preachers, 50 Cent) and finally mastered by Ryan Smith (Battles, Nada Surf, AC/DC) at Sterling Sound in NYC.
The album, which was made possible by a successful online fan-funding campaign, showcases the band’s conscious stylistic departure from their debut. Having this complete creative freedom allowed the band to make something truly different.
AALTARS is a more complex, aggressive and urgent work - exploring elements of electronic percussion, urban synths, and glitchy guitar riffs - while still retaining the meticulous ear for melody and detail that are at the heart of everything the band strives to do.
