Howdy-
My band has almost finished mastering our third CD. We're pretty psyched since it's been a looong time in the works. We've posted some short samples of the almost finished product here:

You can hear two full tracks on our Myspace page:

I'm singing, and playing the right channel guitars, which are mostly a 66 JM through a 65 AC15, and the occasional Barber LTD and BYOC delay.
Love to get some feedback.

Re: New Recordings
I'm really liking this .. the melody weaves where you don't expect it at first listening but still stays melodic and catchy .. I hear the XTC influence. And the lyrics are great!
[edit] Hey, you stole the guitar riff from Stereolab's "Crest" for your "Starshine" .. nice new take on it too. I've got about half-a-dozen tracks inspired by the way the guitar and bass line interplay in that song, which is still one of my favourite Stereolab tracks.

Re: New Recordings
I think it kicks ass, but I have always liked your stuff (checked your band out after seeing your guitar collection on the FDP). Your guitar sounds really good, I really like the main riff in landslide. Really Poppy. Did you record and master it yourself?
Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

Re: New Recordings
Thanks a lot. We recorded, mixed and mastered at a real studio for once - Invisible Sound in Baltimore. But it's all self-financed so we had to be pretty efficient. We even did a few individual tracks in Garageband and transferred them digitally into the mix. Hopefully CD release will be in December or January.
Crest is perhaps the best one and a half chord song ever. They are one of my all time favorites, both studio and live -they make you want to dance in 5/4 time. This is going to sound sick, but when Mary died, my first thought was "I hope they don't break up". My second was "That's really horrible", (my third was "Wonder who's going to get her Jazzmaster?")

She lived next door to my cousin in North London, about twenty minutes' walk from where I was living at the time, although I never met her.
I felt sick for about a week after that accident. Such a shame. I saw them play about a year later and you could almost see and hear the gap where she should have been.

Re: New Recordings
Sounding really, really nice.
