I guess it was never officially announced, but earlier this year, the tape label Best Kept Secret released a shorter, editted version of our "II" CD. You can order it from them online at indiepages.com/bestkeptsecret ... and now a new review of the tape :
Okay, I have to confess that I sort of cheated with this review; I received the self-released cd from this band a few months ago, and then recently, Best Kept Secret released an edited version of the album - ...like, a big 'excising half of the songs' kind of edit. I put the band's version of the album on, and found that whoever's idea it was to trim away the fat had a really good idea, so what started as a review of the cd turned into a review of the cassette. Not that the album was bad before - but with 27 songs in 77 minutes, there were way too many times that my interest waned, and also found that pretty much all of the songs that I actually enjoyed made the final cut, with two exceptions: I would've chosen the original opener, "The Devil's Backbone", over "On The Beach" (which started fine, but devolved into unlistenable noise halfway through) and the poppy "Tutankhamen" was way better than the meandering "Gruene River". Also, the cd's liner notes and artwork are cooler than the cassette's. But enough about what you don't get - what you do get is skewed, but generally laid-back, indie rock that sounds something like Marmoset, Butterglory (if they had even more of a Pavement fetish) or Pavement (if they had even more of an R.E.M. fetish). There are times when the band gets a little noisy, but the guitars are generally clean, even during the faster songs, like "Charleton Hest" and "Kickapoo" (though that last song kinda feels like everything's distorted somehow!). The band likes to toy with song structures, switching gears mid-song (frequently more than once), which actually works more often than not (see especially "Time Can" & "Silent Sip"). Whichever version you get a hold of, you'll find a number of interesting songs to enjoy. MTQ=10/13

In other news, we're about to mix our new CD. Hopefully we can share some tracks from that in the coming weeks. Z.
