Hello,
We will be releasing our new ep, Venus Birds, next week. It will be available to download on our bandcamp page on Tuesday, March 4. You may also order the physical product from there or from our web store on that date. We're going to have a bit of a party at the Hangar 9 to celebrate. Stop by if you're in Carbondale, as that will be the first time we wheel out the new ep for public eyes. That show will also feature our cousins The Flowers of Evil and our best girl Jenny Johnson. We will post SXSW specifics here shortly and will also update / add some tour dates.

In other news, our friend Mike Faris is hard at work on a clinically psychedelic video for the Venus Birds track "Dart Board Blacklist". Similarly, our close friend and eternal roommate Dustin Houston, is working on a stop motion film to accompany the Venus Birds track "Four is the New Three". On an unrelated note, I just watched the sunrise and I hope you saw it as well. 

Take care,
DB
