Well, this has taken way too long, but I am proud to say that the finishing touches are being applied, and "Petals" will be available at shows and online as of November 18th. We are having a release show at 9 PM at Zebulon in Brooklyn, and as an added bonus you can stick around and check out Asiko at 11.
The album is a good mix of the different styles we try to emulate, and really captures the overall sound we have. It is programmed as we would program a live set. We recorded all live with no headphones and virtually no acoustic barriers at Maggie's Farm in Pennsylvania. Much thanks to Matt Balitsaris, our engineer, who made this possible. The album was recorded more or less in a continuous take; although some of the tracks are alternates, the build of intensity that naturally occurs in a performance comes through clearly. It was a real treat to drive way the hell out in the country on a freezing day and have such beautiful studio and supportive engineer, and I couldn't be more proud of what we finished, so I'm excited to be able to share it now...
