INTERVIEW WITH THE ELECTRIC APE IN STEREO

I've heard that the first pressing of ‘Before The World Turn Dark’ is already sold -out, congratulations! Any plan to repress? Maybe with extra candy/track on it? And why this time you decided to press CD not tape as ‘We Come In Peace’?

- First of all we would like to express our sincere appreciation to " Rice Factory Zine " for this interview session. Alhamdulilah and thank you very much for the wish. Yes we have decided to make another 150 limited copies of our second press cd for our upcoming launching show that will be held this 24 December at Ladyboss studio, Ipoh and In Shaa Allah we will bring the cd aslo for our south and north tour next year ( Caution : We only sell the cd at our show ya so keep updated hehe 😁✌️ ). 


At the moment we only press cd format for the release because of pandemic factor, we really struggling with our financial during recording the album maybe in future we try our best to press the album in tape format or maybe vinyl who knows, In Shaa Allah wish us luck hehe.



TEAIS = TEH AIS? Beside as a platform to express your musical ability, what is TEAIS for you?

- TEAIS is a shortform for The Electric Ape In Stereo. Beside music itself, TEAIS is more about friendship.It bring us together and we hope we will always be together as a band and friends.


How do you guys meet with Steve Corrao? And what factors lead TEAIS to work with him? Is he expensive?

- Our album was recorded at the studio called " Smelly Wreck Chords " and the sound engineer there is our friend, his the one who introduce us to Steve Corrao. What makes us want to work with him it's because Steve Corrao can produce an analogue mastering with acceptable price and we really love the end result that make by him.



Based in Indie Rock City, did you find Ipoh's uniqueness, especially its people and environment, affected in TEAIS song writing?

- Yes, Ipoh is our hometown and we really love to live here. For us Ipoh is the cultural hub that always give us ideas and inspired our song writing. Besides the chillness of the surrounding, this ghost town really gives us the vibe of " Cold Dark Wave " emotional.


Thank you for your time, anything you want to add?

- Again we would like to thanks to Rice Factory Zine for interviewing us and keep up the good work. Let music bring all of us together and the community will grow as it always has. ✌️
