bookshelves and beauty lamps

Hi,

We’ve been hard at work on the parts of making a record that have nothing to do with sound. Just the normal stuff. We spent 4 days covering a room in maps. We hired a photographer. We bothered the pressing plant a lot (we’re going to bother them more) and we bought a ton of red Chinese new year envelopes. Now we wait for a bunch of boxes to get delivered to Plaza Records—our safe haven, practice space, and harbor of semi-useless esoteric knowledge. NEW COLONY will be available digitally very soon. Check back here or on our Facebook page for that date. We’ll be getting back in the swing of playing shows very soon as well. Here’s what we have so far:

* Monday, 29 - WBDX radio performance [Rock with the Ox / 91.1 fm]
