Good & Evil (album)

Good & Evil is the second studio album released by the American rock band Tally Hall. It was said that this album would have been considered Tally Hall's "debut" record with Atlantic Records, since the previous release was merely a re-release of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum. Due to unknown circumstances, however, it was released on June 21, 2011 under their original label, Quack! Media.[1][2][3]

Production

In late April 2009, the band posted a scheduled event on their Facebook page entitled "Tally Hall May Tour," with a subtitle of "The Last Pre-Recording Hurrah." It stated that, after a number of shows in May, they would begin recording their second album.

On October 19, 2009, Tally Hall began pre-production on the album.[4] October 26, 2009 marked the first official day of recording at The Sunset Sound Factory, with Grammy-nominated producer Tony Hoffer and engineer Todd Burke.[1] Through Ross Federman's Twitter, it was revealed that they were recording 16 tracks; however, the album was announced to have 14,[2] so it is assumed that one 3-part song written by Andrew Horowitz later became the single track "Fate of the Stars".

On November 26, 2009 (Thanksgiving Day), the band announuced via Twitter that they had completed tracking, leaving them one day to prepare for their tour with Rooney and Crash Kings.[5]

On May 2, 2011, the band released their first single off the album, "You & Me", on the music webzine Consequence of Sound.[6] The following day, the single was officially released on iTunes.

On June 20, 2011, the band released the track "&" via their YouTube account.[7]

The album is currently available through their official website, as well as online services iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Rhapsody.[8] It was also released on CD, vinyl, and digital download.

gollark: Language models are surprisingly good at some programming tasks.
gollark: Relatedly, my synthesizer thing now lets you program it using this simple, intuitive Lua interface:```lua_channels[1] = {{"open", true}, {"sound", "sine", 440}}```
gollark: Unless Copilot Enterprise Edition is coming soon™.
gollark: I guess they picked some arbitrary balance between hobbyists and actually-paid developers.
gollark: It's surprisingly little, considering.
