2008 has been a good year for us. We've been together about 4 years now and it's good to see our working starting to pay off. 'A Family Light' was released in January fortunately people still remembered it when they made their Top 10 lists for 2008. Here are some links to what some people have been saying:

2009
We finished recording the songs for our upcoming 7" with John Griffin at Sugar Hill Studios and will starting mixing sometime next week. As soon as it's mastered we'll post it and I can't wait for everyone to hear it. Praying for SXSW but who knows. Here are the releases we have planned
7"
These are songs we've been playing live for about a year now, so we're clumping these 2 songs together since they won't go with anything else. Tentatively titled 'Jam' and 'Groovin'. They're a little different, but we feel its the best music we've put out so hopefully people will like it. You should expect to see it around March.
Morning Saints EP
We've been sitting on these songs for a while. They're very stripped down and old timey. Hopefully it'll be released early summer.
Bjork Covers
We were really happy with the way these songs turned out and want to record them mostly for ourselves. We're not sure on the legalities of the covers so we will probably give them out for free or with the purchase of something. And those should be released around the same time as Morning Saints.
In between all that there will probably be another Texas tour or so. Thanks again.
