I now declare this bridge open.

Today we travel to the middle of nowhere to finish recording our new album. I suppose it's customary to be excited about whatever is being worked on at a given time, but I think these recordings are easily the best we've ever put to tape. David Allen has done a wonderful job making every strange, left-field idea that the three of us blurt out work perfectly. (Dave, you're also a much weirder guy than most give you credit for. This is a good thing. We have felt right at home.) Hopefully this record makes you stare at your speakers like a dog, or laugh like when you hear the Beach Boys at an empty gas station on a rainy morning, or remember your favorite date in history. I can't wait to play it for you.

The name of this record is still under review. The tracks are, in no particular order (and subject to exclusion), as follows:

1. Marketing Ploy
2. Scott Walker Records
3. Clean Black Coats
4. Plastic Bags / Destroying a Piano
5. Shtriga
6. Blank Host
7. Building Things to Scale, Daniel
8. Bombs Away
9. Count Your Lucky Breaths
10. Red Sea Jive
11. Athena
12. Ghosts in my Parents' Hallway


Until we meet again,
