Producer Tally Hall, Steve Gallagher


Complete Demos is the combination of the band's previous two EP's, Party Boobytrap and Welcome To Tally Hall (EP), and a newly recorded song named Banana Man. Together, these EPs made up the first full length album released by Tally Hall. It's a collection of well-produced demos recorded in Joe's attic using a digital camcorder and recording each track one by one. Many agree it captured a magic unfound in the later studio recordings of these songs.

The album was released physically in 2004, and it was released digitally through Tally Hall's Bandcamp page in December 2015.[1] alongside Admittedly Incomplete Demos, a collection of unfinished demo tracks, and previously unreleased material.[2]

Most of the tracks went on to be re-recorded for Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, with the exception of Stationary Love and (I Know) It's Just The Same.

Trivia

  • Although Ross Federman appears in the photograph used as the album cover, Steve Gallagher is credited for the drums in these demos.[1] This is due to Ross joining the band after those demos were recorded but before the culmination and release of Complete Demos.
  • Song credits on Broadjam.com reveal that Joe Hawley and Steve Gallagher were two of the main producers of the album.
