Last show of the summer?

Just a quick update to fill you in on what might be our last show of the summer. We’re playing Wednesday, July 6th in Toronto at Hard Luck Bar with Portland/Boston-based ambient soundscapers Arms and Sleepers and our friend Ken Reaume, a.k.a. Black Walls. This isn’t a show you’ll want to miss. Another fine, fine a mountain far… event.
The plan, henceforth, is to spend our collective energy finishing the LP. We know we’ve been talking about this thing for a while. Well, here’s some stuff we can tell you about the record:
- We went back to Audiolab and recorded it with Chris Hegge
- There are nine songs
- One of the first song we wrote is on it
- There are lots of synths
- There are lots of drums
- There’s a lot of bass
- There’s a moderate amount of guitar, but it’s tasteful
- There are horns on it
- Two of us listened to unhealthy amounts of Steely Dan while mixing the record
- The other two abhor everything Steely Dan has ever released
