Watery Grave (EP)

The Watery Grave EP was Graham Van Pelt's first release under his solo project Miracle Fortress. The self-released five-song EP was recorded in 2005 at Friendship Cove, a recording studio/indie rock venue owned by Van Pelt and fellow friend Jack Dylan.[1] The success of Watery Grave gained Van Pelt the attention of record label Secret City of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This led to a collaboration that yielded his first full-length album Five Roses.[2]

Personnel

  • All songs were written and performed by Graham Van Pelt.
  • When songs are performed live, they either involve:
    • Graham Van Pelt playing solo, implementing the heavy use of looping and pre-recorded sounds, while simultaneously playing guitar and drums.
    • Graham Van Pelt's live band, which includes added band members: drummer Jordan Robson-Cramer (Sunset Rubdown and Magic Weapon), guitarist Jessie Stein (SS Cardiacs and The Luyas), and keyboardist Adam Waito (Telefauna).
gollark: It has basically the same effect.
gollark: Some of the current Emu War games actually came from the future through a bizarre time travel accident in 2081 or so, which makes the canons even more complex.
gollark: There are a bunch of websites with "canonical" timelines, but they all contradict each other because they focus on different mediums.
gollark: You can't just "summarise" the Emu War metacanons.
gollark: If your computer has an HTML5 backward compatibility renderer, that is.
