Fred’s Homecoming

We swear this isn’t an intervention or anything, just a celebration of Fred’s return to Texas from the vile state of Kansas (I’ve never been there . . . it’s vile right?). He’s survived the rigors of the military duty including losing half a pinky finger, being kicked by his own horse (broken ribs), and dressing in antiquated cavalry uniform. They also tried to shave his head, but aha, Fred was one step ahead of them. What makes this even better is that we're playing with the Hope Trust and Tre Orsi. Very excited to play with both of these bands. (Matthew Barnhart of Tre Orsi has been engineering our new record for the past several months.) Alright, alright. Just be there.

Emil will also play a short solo set at Rubbergloves on Sept. 4th before The Angelus plays in Dallas.

Overdub-ious.

Finished recording overdubs this week. Corrected flubs and layered guitar mostly but also added some strings and marimba care of our friends Tamra and the members of Dust Congress. Sounds really great at first blush. We'll see how everything pans out once we record vocals and start mixing. Either way, another big step toward finishing the record.

Emil at the Annex House - 7.10.09

While we continue to work on the album,Emil will take a break and join the blessed souls at the Annex House as they open their doors for another low-key seance. Please come visit for a spell. Where is the Annex House? 1207 Annex Ave. here in Dallas. Nice bunch of kids who live there. Come out - you wont regret it. You might hear some new songs.
Also playing: Hotel, Hotel | Sabra Laval | New Science Projects.

Recording New Album

Finally, we've set to work on our debut, full-length album.
Under the ever patient watch of engineer Matthew Barnhart we've spent several fruitfull days and nights at the Echo Lab in Denton, TX tracking what will be our debut album. If you remember, this is where we recorded our self-titled EP back in 2004. Barnhart engineered that as well, but this time we are accompanied by our friend Josh Pearson who is producing the album. If we can survive under his brutal lash hopefully the album will be finished by the end of the summer.

We'll keep you posted.

In the meantime check back here for any sporadic show updates.

P.S. - You can see some more photos from the echo lab here.
