Recent-er Things

It's been awhile since the last update I realize... 

Some very exciting things in the works: I've started working on the next album. We'll be playing a few more dates in support of ITEOMD before we get back into school time again, as well as shows outside of New England around Christmas time, but we're preparing to be done with it for awhile... I'm going to keep nearly everything hidden about the next album until it's release (aiming for summer of '09, keep patient). A couple of exciting things about it: 

  • I will actually be singing on this record. 
  • This record features a single band, comprised of many members (you'll see). 
  • Our live show is going to change very much, visually as well. 

I'm not going to spoil anything else about it for a long time, though. 

And now...movies/music that I've been liking alot lately: 

Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends 

Sigur Ros' Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spylum Endalaust 

Feist's The Reminder

Michel Gondry's movie Be Kind Rewind, as well as M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening

And lastly, I have never anticipated a record as much as this one: Of Montreal's ninth studio album, entitled Skeletal Lamping. I recommend reading as much as you can about this record, because it sounds like the most obscure thing that Of Montreal has done. A great piece on the record can be found here: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article/7546/feature/music/cold_lampin_with_of_montreal, as well as several others that can be found here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=skeletal+lamping+pre+review&btnG=Search. 

So that's it for now!
