Thank You

So glad that a ton of people have been enjoying the new song. Thanks to everyone who has helped spread the word about the record. Just 18 more days until you’ll be able to get your handsome hands on a copy. We are working on getting our merch store set up through our site, as well as designing some new t-shirts. 

Last night we shot a live video with our friends from Sound on the Sound which will be released in the next 2 weeks. check out their review of “You Go Running” http://bit.ly/zCNR8x

Album Artwork!

Huge shout out to Matt Maust for killing it on our album artwork. Its gonna look so tasty on vinyl. Thats right! We are printing vinyl and boy do we have some sweet limited edition plans up our sleeve. Sign up on the mailing list to make sure you get first dibs. 

When can I hear some music you might ask? Monday Feb 6th. We will be streaming the first single “You Go Running” on the website. 

Also, Seattle Weekly’s Reverb Monthly graciously put me on the cover of their mag. it comes out today, so go get one! 

Atlas Hugged

Sitting in my room at the Jupiter, downloading as many episodes of Breaking Bad as I can to watch while on tour. There’s a few distasteful drives, and I’m sure everyone else in the van will appreciate the genius of that show.  Had to come to portland a few days early because tomorrow we shoot the Shins video for “Simple Song”  At the present moment I am practicing my acting faces in the mirror. They are an egregious offense against any sort of talent, but i’m looking forward to making a mockery of myself.  

Excited to share our album art soon. Our dear friend Matt Maust doing the design, and totally killing it. 

Record Release Show

We are excited to announce that on February 24th, we will be releasing our new record as well as throwing a release party at Columbia City Theater! I’ll holler as soon as pre-sale tickets are available. I’ll also be posting the track listing, album art, new videos etc on the new site over the next few weeks. 

We are also heading out on a west coast tour in January with our friend Bryan John Appleby. Dont forget to check out the tour dates below. I am unbelievably afraid of black ice and and snowy drives but its gonna be allll goood.
