Dearest friends, 

Back in March of 2007, we released our first LP called A Curious Excavation. Several months ago we sold out of the physical copies that we had of that record.  We are tentatively planning on releasing a new record in January of 2010, but for those who haven't been able to purchase our old album at shows or otherwise, we have made it available through Noisetrade.  With Noisetrade, fans have the option of paying what they want to support the artist, or simply emailing 5 of their friends a link to the album.  I've actually used it myself to get copies of some other great bands' records and I really liked the concept, plus its really easy to use.  The artists win, because they get their music in more people's hands, and the fans win because they have controlled access to obtaining great music.  

Hey friends,

Hey everyone,

Hey everyone, thanks for showing interest in our exciting news. We are pleased to announce that we are going to be recording our new full length album, "Stay Here with Me (for better or for worse)" beginning July 6th in the beautiful mountains of Colorado Springs.  We are long overdue for a new record, and we are very excited about the new music.  The following is the press release announcing our recording plans:

Our friend Lucas Carter was kind enough to write a show review for last Thursday's performance at the Grind with Deas Vail and Hope Arthur. I'm not sure if we "rival Coldplay" (we're much better than Coldplay...), but it's a good article; check it out!

Hey hope you are enjoying one of our newest songs, Nursery Rhyme. We had a lot of fun with this song adding layers of strings, horns, and other colorful textures while tracking this. The song was recorded by Kevin Flick. Also thanks to our friends who played some of the auxiliary instruments on the song: Daniel Zambrano (cello), Justin Schafer (violin), Jeremy Smith (trombone).

Here are the lyrics for those that are intersted:


Like living lines from a nursery rhyme
Our innocence a lie
I count to four, begin again with one
And soldiers march for war

A child's song will age
As the feelings of our mistakes replay

The lamb sits quiet on the green hillside
But howls in the moonlight
A dark gray coat underneath white wool
And shepherds play the fool

A child's song will age
As the feelings of our mistakes replay
White turns into gray
Revealing what caused the rain to give way

Just like Chagall, redemptive art
Is a colorful starting place on canvases of our hearts;
A sculpting of souls that you create
But we fall, the right is wronged
And we are not hearing what you say to us
On these days, I'm reminded that change is on its way
Jesus give me strength to stay

And now that you know that underneath this skin
Is a cowardly soul without a prayer
You're better now than before
