Phases (I See Stars album)

Phases is the third remix album by electronicore band I See Stars, released through Sumerian Records on August 28, 2015. The album features "raw and unplugged" versions of some of the band's previously recorded material, as well as some cover songs.[1] The album is entirely composed of acoustic guitars and basses, pianos, and stringed instruments accompanied by Devin and Andrew Oliver's singing, in place of the screaming, breakdowns, and electronics typically used by the band.

On September 25, 2015, the band embarked on the Phases tour in promotion of the album. Appropriately, the tour only featured the versions of songs performed on Phases and did not feature the entire band, leading to departure rumors of keyboardist and unclean vocalist Zach Johnson and guitarist Jimmy Gregerson. Gregerson's departure was later confirmed, followed by Johnson's a short while later.

gollark: I see. Any particular reason?
gollark: Learning Python or another programming language is possibly a good thing to do if you have... time and some interest, I guess. You can automate some annoying tasks, bodge together scripts to do whatever random stuff you want, demonstrate your 1337 h4xx0r abilities to friends by, I don't know, printing "Hello World" in a terminal, that sort of thing.
gollark: This is how the robot rebellion starts.
gollark: Try a different SSH client maybe, like dropbear.
gollark: I use OpenSSH as a client and TinySSH as a server, it works okay.
