Release Day

Our fourth full-length, Neighbors and Strangers, is out today. Here it is on iTunesAmazon, and Spotify.It’s funny, when you create something and put it out into the world, there’s this tension. On one hand, you could care less if anyone listens to it because you’re proud of this thing that you have created from scratch, that now exists in the world, that is a result of so much thought and effort. On the other hand, damn you really want people to listen to it. Because you’re proud of this thing that you have created from scratch, that now exists in the world, that is a result of so much thought and effort.

So here it is for you to enjoy, ignore, love, hate or just ‘meh’ about. We are particularly excited about this one because of the process that led to it. As much as this album was recorded in a studio, it was recorded in our bedrooms. As much as individual voices put their stamp on it, it was the most collaborative album we’ve made. As much as it sounds like us, it has us experimenting like we haven’t before.

So, given all that, the only appropriate photo to post then is one of all of us – looking amused, confused and downright solemn – with our fantastic producer and teammate Benny (the good looking one).

We’re proud of the process and proud of the result. And if you like it, that’s great too. Thanks so much for listening.
