february 6, 2011 : endlessly postsponed
hello close friends,
it has been a year! the process of getting the record released has certainly taken longer than expected, but we are getting there. everything is in place, it is now a matter of piecing all of it together. this will surely turn out to be quite a special piece of art. in the meantime, we have been slowly writing a new ep. more details will follow on that, but it is music we have written for a set of short films; quite excited about it, really.

hello close friends,
the air is frozen outside and i can see my breath. it is beautiful. artwork is being discussed and there will be some finality soon, we hope. these things cannot be rushed...

january 4, 2010 : overdue (overlooked)
hello close friends,
it has been awhile has it not? yes it has, but we haven't forgot about you. in fact, we just received the masters from carl and they sound absolutely exquisite. we are so fortunate to have had such a talented individual bring out the warmth and bones of each piece. rumor has it that artwork is also being finalized right now... getting close... a spring release seems perfectly reasonable.
