hi tell-all friends — we’re here with a short update.

we had some great shows in san francisco in april; thanks to everyone who came out to hear our music.

scott solter’s one river will be officially available on may 30th. we’ve already heard some nice things said about the record - smother.net made it an editor’s pick, jon worley of aiding and abetting wrote a nice short review, and babysue also weighed in positively.
music-scan.de contributed a nice review in german (translated by the googs here).

dave heaton also gave a nice writeup of the first five pieces in twelve, our ep series for the big takeover. it’s a great introduction to the series, and dave writes thoughtful short reviews of each entry.

finally, some very exciting news: liam singer’s new album is done, mastered, and is being shipped off to the manufacturer this week. the record is called our secret lies beneath the creek and we’ll have some brand new sample tracks for you to hear this week, plus the album artwork.
