Novembeat is an annual song-a-day challenge where folks from around the world are encouraged to make something musical every day in November. For 2021’s Novembeat, Sockpuppet decided to stick to a theme: songs that capture the feeling of various coffee grinders. For much of the month, the band was displaced from their recording studio due to a plumbing emergency, so they were only able to produce around an hour of music over 17 tracks, instead of the original planned two-hour epic coffee journey. It’s probably for the best, since there’s only so many feelings that coffee grinders can evoke. Many of the tracks from this were also used in the game Hallowed Grounds, which was developed alongside the recording of this album.
