HEADLINE: DAVID KITZMILLER EXPANDS ACQUIRED CATALOG WITH ACOUSTIC ALTERNATIVE SOPHOMORE ALBUM "RECORDED SONGS FROM THE TOASTER: VOLUME II"
DATELINE: NASHVILLE, TN / INDIANAPOLIS, IN — 2026 — Independent audio imprint Ace of Toaster Records has officially announced the active studio release of Recorded Songs from the Toaster: Volume II, the highly anticipated sophomore acoustic alternative album written and produced by David Kitzmiller. Serving as a crucial expansion of the ongoing Toaster Song Series, this volume builds directly upon the uncompromised confessional groundwork laid by its predecessor, continuing a highly synchronized multimedia journey where rigid musical categories yield to the absolute power of the lyric.
THE EVOLUTION OF CURATED PRODUCTION
Recorded Songs from the Toaster: Volume II marks a definitive operational shift in the catalog's history, showcasing Kitzmiller stepping directly into the control room to oversee the project as its sole executive producer. This sonic dimension continues to explore the "unburnt," deeply intimate side of the imprint, using stripped-back acoustic arrangements, direct vocal delivery, and razor-sharp phrasing to map out the long, day-to-day work of adult emotional reconstruction.
The collection reunites Kitzmiller with his trusted Nashville tracking personnel: the veteran singer-songwriter Some Guy Named Tim and the alternative-metal powerhouses The James Fields Band. Tracked in the wake of deep personal excavations, the music handles a heavy, reflective weight—documenting a fragile path from passive endurance back to absolute creative control. It operates as a vital sonic companion piece for readers navigating the unvarnished timelines of his Poems from the Toaster visual galleries, translating heavy text architectures into beautiful, living audio art.
MASTER TECHNICAL CREDITS & TRACKING MATRIX
The tracking features elite engineering credentials, meticulously recorded across premium facilities to preserve the absolute physical and emotional gravity of the text. Moving seamlessly from fragile acoustic strings to expansive, full-band alt-rock textures, the production delivers an unblinking portrait of survival and forward movement.
