the news

Hey friends. We have some things to tell you about.

1 -- On February 13th, A Mountain Is A Mouth will be officially available to the import-adverse, record-buying public of Australia via Sensory Projects and Inertia Distribution. We recently landed rotation on FBI and we're working to get the cats at Triple J to pick it up. Please request it! If you'd like to buy the Australian edition, or just find out more, please click here.

2 -- We are heading to the US for the first time in March, with 2 NY shows, a Charlotte, NC show and a showcase at SXSW between March 12th and 21st. There will also be a Black Sheep Inn show in Wakefield, QC on March 11th and some Southern Ontario dates on the back end of the tour. Keep your eye on the shows page for all the details. We are excited and a little frightened, all at the same time.

3 -- We recently teamed up with our friends in Muskox to record a reprise of Shanty Song. They played the music and we sang along, with Neil and Misha switching of leads and all the new choir girls cooing. Our friends in Kingston, The Gertrudes and PS I Love You teamed up for a great collab of their own and both songs will be featured on a split 7", to be released in late March. It's a co-release between our own Bruce Trail and the Gertrudes' Apple Crisp Records. It's at the plant now. We'll post more details as we know them.

4 -- We are hard at work preparing songs for record number two. We have been in the midst of a fit of creativity and things are moving along quicker than they ever have. The plan is to record the whole record in May, which will be a feat for us after taking a year and a half to make AMIAM. Stay tuned for more details on this and a few other releases we hope to have out before 2010 comes to a close.

5 -- It's really cold around here lately. Spring, please show yourself soon.
