We just received our copies of the Black Happy Day CD - it is up in the catalog section now. These are available from Dark Holler and Silber only until the end of August when they will be appearing in stores.

here's what the website says:
____________________________________________________________________
Black Happy Day is Tara VanFlower and Timothy Renner aka tiMOTHy, Revelator. Tara VanFlower comes from Lycia, and of course, from her own wonderful solo albums. Timothy's history includes Stone Breath, Mourning Cloak, and The Spectral Light & Moonshine Firefly Snakeoil Jamboree, among other projects.

"In the Garden of Ghostflowers" finds them achieving a nearly equal combination of their styles with elements of ambient and experimental music, acoustic and electronic music, homemade instruments and digital recording techniques all combining to make something that some have called "ambient old-time music." That description may be as accurate or inaccurate as any - everyone who hears this album seems to hear something different.

Certainly, both Tara and Timothy have brought elements of their past to play here. Tara's soundscapes, loops, and beautiful vocals spin throughout Timothy's more acoustic settings; while their mutual love of drones finds them comfortably fitting the pieces together in this sonic puzzlebox.

track listing:
1 The Leaves of Life 2 In the Garden of Ghostflowers 3 Whore 4 Edward 5 Of the Wind and Loneliness 6 How They Weep and Moan! 7 A Lyke Wake Dirge 8 How Many Hours 'til the Spider's Work is Done? 9 Wolf & Hare 10 Hand in Hand 11 Be Thou My Vision

We will likely be making limited edition t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring the drawing I did for the cover (it's a rabbit sitting inside the skeleton of a wolf) and the Black happy Day text - half of the drawing is on the front cover of the CD (which you can see in the catalog section) - the rest wraps around to the inside booklet on the CD so you can't see all of it there. I think the entire image is on the Black Happy Day MySpace profile. When we get closer to making them, we'll email this list again with a chance to pre-order. We will probably only make a few more than we have pre-orders for, much like we did with the Hand/Eye hooded sweatshirts a couple years back. We get requests for those Hand/Eye sweatshirts to this day, so...
