Full Bleed


Full Bleed is the debut studio album by the American duo Caught on Tape, a collaborative project by guitarist Thurston Moore and drummer John Moloney. It released on February 10, 2015, by Northern Spy Records.

Background and recording

Prior to Full Bleed, Moore and Moloney were both members of the band Chelsea Light Moving and had released a string of live albums together as the Caught on Tape duo, beginning with their self-titled in 2012 and ending with Banjaxed Blues in 2013. Eventually, they were approached by Northern Spy Records to create a studio album, and although they were initially hesitant to the idea, they ultimately agreed, recording at Sonelab in Easthampton, Massachusetts on September 12, 2013. According to the engineer Justin Pizzoferatto, the sessions would have taken place earlier, but they were postponed. The recording spanned four hours, with mixing (recorded music)|mixing] taking a similar time to complete.

Promotion and release

In January 2015, the duo announced the album and led it with the title track. Full Bleed was released on February 10 by Northern Spy Records, made available digitally and on vinyl and CD. It was originally scheduled for release on October 12, 2014 but became delayed.
