Happy Halloween

But also...

We realize that our nice new website has broken a cardinal rule. That is... the only reason that people should come to a band's website is to listen to the band.

We're working on getting some easy streaming happening here but it takes time and effort that has been concentrated elsewhere lately. We know, and are working to remedy it.

Be patient. We realize that all of this info is useless if you can't actually listen to us. When you're done here, please go over to the myspace, which has both of the 7" sides and a couple tracks from AMIAM.

Very very soon there will be music on this site. That is a promise.

Outside Music

We are pleased to announce that our dear old friends at Outside Music are going to be distributing A Mountain Is A Mouth in Canada. Neil used to work there, Leon works there now and we have much love for everyone involved.

Thanks to Outside's partnership with Zunior, there will be a double delivery option where you get the mp3/flac files instantly and a CD mailed to you on the release date (which is February 3rd, by the way).

More details forthcoming.

Chipping away

Seems we dissapear every few months, doesn't it? This time we're working hard on getting A Mountain Is A Mouth ready for release. A lot more involved in that then we initially thought but we're learning a lot along the way.

While those gears are turning, we're slowly working on a 15-minute piece involving much stomping and strange patterns. We'll hopefully have that finished in the next month or so. It will be released on a 12 inch slab of vinyl, split with our old friend Sandro Perri's Polmo Polpo project. So far it seems that this will sound unlike any BP you've ever heard before.

Other songs are coming together too. We hope to go back into the studio just as the new year rolls around. No idea what form those recordings will take just yet, but we're heading in new directions and are excited to record them. We promise it won't take us so long to finish a record next time. For our own sanity, mostly.

More details on A Mountain Is A Mouth coming shortly.

Still working on the streaming players too. They're taking a little longer to put together than we planned.

xoxo

The Persuasions

Just a quick post to say that we just returned home from Montreal, where we were honoured to open for the magnificent Persuasions, a 5-man a cappella group that had our jaws on the floor from start to finish.

This was truly gorgeous music made by wonderfully kind and charismatic men. We urge you to seek out their music and to tell you that, if you have the chance, go and see them. You'll leave with a full heart, a smile on your face and residual shivers down your spine.

Thank you so much to Pop Montreal for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
