I just found this video blog, called Everyday1Music, that featured us last month alongside The Pixies, Beck, The Counting Crows, and our boys in Kim Jong Ill! They used a track from our first album, Noise. Pop. Deathray., called “My Baby’s Gonna Save the World, What’s Your Baby Gonna Do?”.
This baby makes my speakers sound like they’re busted!
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am very happy to say that we are now back in the studio (ie – bedroom) recording new material! We’re taking a new approach this time; having worked out the basics of these songs over the 9 months since we finished recording We Choose to Go to the Moon, we are taking just the month of January off to finish up as many as possible. We will then release what we have finished as singles throughout 2012. The plan is to never again disappear for an extended period of time, like we did with the last album.
Over the last year, we’ve played a few of these new songs live, so you may be familiar with them; in conversation we generally refer to them as “That Dance-y One”, “The Slow Jam”, “The One About the Balloons”, “Jimmy” (that’s a real title), “Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong” (possibly a real title), and “The Really Really New One” (obviously not a real title). One of our foremost concerns as we finish these songs is titling them.
“The Slow Jam” is actually just about done, and will be called “Cotton Shirts”. Soon I will post a video with a little preview snippet of what we have, but in the meantime I’ve included the lyrics below for you to peruse, admire, berate, or what-have-you:
Cotton Shirts
I asked you to meet me where
They tie the boats
It’s dark now, and no one knows
That we’re alone
If you’re scared, I’ll dive in first
With expert form
There’s no need for our cotton shirts
The water’s warm
If you jump in quickly, no one will know
If you jump in with me, I won’t tell a soul
If you’ll get your hair wet, I’ll kiss you right now
If you’ll get your hair wet, I’ll kiss you on the mouth
We’ll see you when we come back on Jan 28, at Arden Gild Hall with Stallions, My Friends, and Villians Like You!
That’s what they’re saying over at A Girl Called Sam. We thank them so much for their kind words, check it out!
Tri State Indie nominated us as BEST INDIE REGIONAL ELECTRO POP artist for the TSI Music Awards in February! The committee included folks from WXPN, WHYY, World Cafe Live, and Johnny Brendas, so hells yeah!
What up! We’ve been getting some love out there in the internetland. Check out what they had to say over at Surviving the Golden Age and Music that Isn’t Bad who not only had nice things to say about us, but also included us on their Dang! That’s What I call Music Vol. 36 compilation.
