Hey friends!

We’re putting out a new single on November 10 and we’re pretty excited about it. We are releasing two new songs, “Phodilus and Tyto” and “If I Were A Tree” on a limited edition (only 300) green marbled vinyl! This will be a preview of what will be coming out on our next full length album, slated for a 2010 release on Out of This Spark.

You can now pre-order it from Play the Triangle and you get a bunch of bonuses with it (mp3s, artwork, poster, pins) and it’s only a limited time! Also, we put together a brand new MERCH page where you can check everything out a bit more clearly now. I’m trying to move the site more and more away from just the WordPress format, so keep an eye out for changes in the coming months. 

We also shot a video for the B side of the record and that is due out around the same time as the vinyl. Fun times!!

We hung out with cows the whole time.

Once again, no recording, just writing. But why go to the trouble to change the sequential titles? Last week most of the band hunkered down in Beaver Valley for a few days to work on some existing song ideas and to hammer out some new ones. It was an extremely productive endevour and we have come out with three new songs on the go and three pretty solid ideas. It felt pretty amazing to drop all responsibilities and focus soley on our music for our duration there. If we could go away and do that once a week we would be on fire. Alas, some of us have day jobs

Our two new songs are being mastered this week and the new single “Phodilus and Tyto” (with a B side of “If I were a Tree”) should be available for pre-order shortly. If all goes well, we’re looking at a November release. I’m working on the artwork and we’re getting pretty excited to share our new material. We shot a video for “If I Were A Tree” this past weekend and that was a really fun day. Thanks to all our friends who came out and helped out and to our small, but powerful, crew. The video should come out around the same time as the single is available, about a month or so from now.

Some exciting things on the way! We’re headed to Pop Montreal again, and super pumped to be going to Halifax soon (yay!) Thank you again x 1000 for all your continued support, we really appreciated that people get excited about we’re doing as much as we do.

Hello from New York! I have been hanging here for about a week now… and the last few days have especially renewed my sense of admiration for this city. So many amazing things going on all the time. Last week I played a solo show with some international friends and got to meet some really rad people. Shout outs to the Brooklyn Tea Party and everyone who housed us. On Friday night I went and saw Emily Wells play (she is awesome check her out) and on Saturday night slid on over to the Williamsburg Music Hall to catch the tUnE-yArDs (fronted by, to my surprise, Merril from Sister Suvi) and Phosphorescent.

Today I am going to go check out the new PS1 Contemporary Art Centre (in conjunction with the MoMa) in Queens, there is a Jonathan Horowitz exhibition on… you should go see!

Here are a couple photos from the show last week – check out Josh Solar’s blog for more of his photography (he came all the way from Kansas!).
