Ready.

I believe, as I write this, that a master of our cd is well on its way to the manufacturers. The cover art is done, thanks to the excellent eye of Jen Boyd at Brij Design, the master sounds great, (thanks to both Lawson White and Vic Anesini at Sony) and I, for one, am ready to get this out in the world. This album has been on the boards since I was officially asked to join janus, a little under four years ago. Since then, there’ve been a myriad of address changes, miles driven, and deadlines met for the three of us, and it has felt, at times, that this album has had much too long a labor. Despite it’s slow percolation, though, I can (amazingly) still bear to listen to it all-Seeing as how I really dislike listening to myself in any recorded context, I think this speaks to both the strength of the material on the album and to Lawson’s awesome editing and mixing. We play the release show on the 29th of October at Joe’s Pub (just confirmed!) with Big Farm (who just finished recording their first album (and who we’re thrilled to be playing on a bill with)), and the actual disc drops on November 16th on New Amsterdam Records. Can’t wait!
