Alright, we know this record has already been released, but until April 28th, you can pre-order your copy of Tusk's resisting dreamer LP WITH a limited-edition Tusk t-shirt. This shirt is offered exclusively with this pre-order - you can't get one without ordering a copy of the record, you can't get this shirt anywhere else (except maybe on Ebay in a couple of months), and you won't be able to order a shirt after April 28th (but you can still get the vinyl).

Track Listing:

1. The Everlasting Taste of Disguise (07:32)
2. Cold Twisted Aisle (07:43)
3. Life's Denial (05:58)
4. The Lewdness and Frenzy of Surrender (16:13)

Preorder for the new Tusk album "The Resisting Dreamer" went online today. For a limited time you can order an exclusive shirt design with the record AND impress your friends by being the first kid on the block with a copy of the album. Click here for more info.

Tortuga Recordings is hosting an online media player for "The Resisting Dreamer" here, so listen now, then, whenever.

The release date is right around the corner, so no doubt Tortuga will be hosting an online preorder for the record featuring an exclusive shirt design that will not be available anywhere else. Look for this soon at their online store.

We also have test presses in hand currently, so the vinyl version cannot be that far off.

28 months after the start of initial tracking, 10 months since anyone gave a shit, Tusk is ready to share our magnum opus, our potential swan song, "The Resisting Dreamer", with the world via the Tortuga Recording Company of Los Angeles, CA.


Two and a half years in the making, "The Resisting Dreamer" is a single 37 minute song divided into four tracks across two sides of vinyl or one side of shiny plastic (depending on your purchasing preference). Original vocalist Jody Minnoch was not available to contribute, but the record benefits from the disparate sounds and intensely talented contributions of Evan Patterson of Young Widows and Toby Driver of Kayo Dot. The two vocalists contributed their own lyrics in tandem and together weave a tale of regret, resentment, and (classic Tusk lyrical theme) descent in madness as the inner worlds of despair and guilt ravage the soul of the album's protagonist, who caves into their nightmarish inner world to ultimately taste "The Lewdness and Frenzy of Surrender."


Recorded and mixed by Tusk alumn Greg Norman at Electrical Audio studios (during Pelican's "Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw" sessions from midnight to five am) and Studio Greg Studios II, the album has a sound and style unlike anything we have attempted in the past. Occasionally groove-laden, occasionally spastic, and often unnerving, "The Resisting Dreamer" is the sound of a band that has absolutely no interest in proving anything to anyone.

Yeah, so someone somewhere might be wondering what the fuck is up with Tusk since we haven't posted a single item of news since April. Well, not a fuck of a lot. But let me take this time to say our third album, recorded in February of 2005, WILL BE RELEASED IN 2007! End of story. There's not really any more details to tell you about other than that. It will happen. Live shows will probably not follow, but again that's just pure speculation. Maybe we'll do a seven continent tour, who knows.

Artwork is approved. The pressing plant is putting together test presses. "Get Ready" is finally coming on vinyl from the fine folks at Interloper Records within the next couple of months. Check their website for more info.

Tomorrow I will leave this country to go tour with Pelican around Europe. Immediately following that tour is another tour through the US, so what I'm getting at is I will have very irregular internet access over the next TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, so please be forgiving about lack of email responses/lost friend requests/etc. If you live somewhere that Pelican ends up going, come out and buy a copy of Get Ready - the motherfucker turned out better than I thought!!! You can also order that crap from HeWhoCorrupts Inc.

Jonathan is such a spazz! I can't believe he posted the video he did for "Make a Mess" in our comments section. I'll leave it for now, but I'm on dialup at home so shit like that drives me nuts on MySpace pages. That video is also available as a Quicktime file on the Get Ready reissue. Word.

Damn the man. See yall in a few months.

Many apologies for posting this on our friends' "Bulletin Boards" - I actually had no idea what I was doing. I fucking suck. Those of you inquiring about a new record, yes, it's in the works. Those of you inquiring about live shows, none are in the works. Thank you. Dear ASSOCIATES! The TUSK "GET READY" CD re-issue is up for pre-order!!! You have TWO investment options!!!

This news copied directly from the HeWhoCorrupts Inc. website because I am too lazy to write my own spin on it: "Finally, the news you've all been waiting for. The Tusk "Get Ready" CD re-issue will be up for pre-order in late January!!! Make sure to check out the site Jan 10th for a special pre-order deal that also includes a Tusk t-shirt and poster!!! As if we haven't reminded you enough, this re-issue is essential for even those of you that might own the original "Get Ready" CD. The re-issue will include the following extras: all original tracks completely re-mixed and re-mastered, 6 unreleased live radio tracks, new artwork courtesy of Aaron Turner (Hydrahead | Isis), and a new enhanced section featuring an interview, live radio performance, and music video. May we kindly remind on new comers, before there was Pelican, there was the mighty Tusk!!!!" I guess that's essentially how I would've written it to, but there's really no need to refer to us as "mighty" or anything like that. Right? Have a great new year's!
