We are happy to announce that we've finished our new album, entitled
"The Civil War". We recorded most of the new record at home, and at
the homes of some friends in Los Angeles (Steve Goodfriend and Jim
Putnam of Radar Bros. and Mark Lightcap of Acetone/The Warm
Inventions) Some synthesizer recordings were made with Keith
Fullerton Whitman at the Harvard University Studio for
Electro-Acoustic Composition during our residency there. It was an
honour to get to play one of the original Serge modular synthesizer
built by Ivan Tcherepnin himself. David Grubbs plays some piano which
he recorded in New York City at the Rare Book Room. Keenan Lawler
recorded some guitar for us in a sewer pipe in Louisville, Kentucky.
There's also some location recordings from Hoover, Alabama which we
gathered while travelling. The album's design and layout has been
done by Rex Ray and looks rather lush. Mark Boswell made a video for
our version of "The Stars and Stripes Forever".
(this video will be on the enhanced portion of the cd.)
