JULY 2011

2011-07-15T09:00:00.000-07:00

Greetings from fog central. We've been busy adding to our families, writing our second record and playing lots of shows.

We traveled to SXSW this year and had a great time - we played with some great other bands at the FILTER MAGAZINE day party in Austin. Thanks for everyone who stopped by and said hi. It was hot in Austin - the BBQ was good and the beer was nice and cold. I love Austin and look forward to going back again next year. Wig nearly destroyed our hotel room and Matthew tried to drive to Taylor. I felt bad for our gracious host Dre and her friends, but they were good sports.

We've been playing a lot of shows in California over the past few months as well. This Saturday 7/16 we perform with Form and Fate and Shuteye Unison at the Hemlock -come out if you can. Then in September we have a show with Kevin Devine at Bottom of The Hill. Should be fun.

We have a bunch of new songs written that we are hoping to record this fall for a 2012 LP release. This record is going to be a beast. Lots of new ideas and all around blissed out HEAVINESS.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the new albums from Boris, True Widow and Grails.

We also have new shirts in our shop to outfit yourself in.

Over and out

TRAPPED UNDER ICE

2010-04-20T22:37:00.000-07:00

In case you are reading this....we are in full on writing mode right now. Lots of new songs brewing. Full on epic, down tuned, power and bombast. Lots of new stuff cooking in the oven. We have one show scheduled in the meantime- we're playing with our friends in RED SPAROWES and FANG ISLAND next month in beautiful Sacramento, Ca. Should be fun. Check out both of their new records if you haven't already, they are both great.

We will soon be out of records of our debut. A repress will be likely, but in the meantime, this is your last chance to get the record on blue vinyl.

Aquarius Records has been selling a lot of our records recently - here's a great review they just posted of "And The Sea Won The Battle." Sidenote: This was and is probably my favorite record store of all time. When I first moved to SF in 1997 I would go here almost every day and explore their shelves for new music.

from aquariusrecords.org:
"First proper full length (after a super limited cd-r), of gorgeously blissed out post rock from this Bay Area ensemble. Lush and textured, rhythmic and hypnotic, slow burning and sprawling, epic and super rocking, these guys take that nineties sound we love so much and make it their own, the songs smolder and pulse, before exploding into dense roiling Godspeed / Mogwai style blowouts. Meandering prettiness, gives way to loping mathy minimalism, chiming guitars, simple spare drumming, looped melodies, a slow build to near metallic crush, the bass throbbing, the guitars tangled up in psychedelic squalls, the drums muscled and propulsive. The sound moody and minor key, cinematic and soundtracky, brooding and intense, heavy and emotional and harrowing. If you dig stuff like Mogwai, Aereogramme, Mono, Pelican, Grails, Explosions In The Sky, Magyar Posse, Red Sparowes, Snowblood, that Temporary Residence instrumental rock sound, that heavy post POST rock, well, Glaciers does it as good if not better than most of your favorites. Not sure how these guys slipped under our radar, since they're from right here in the Bay Area, but it's time to right that wrong, RIGHT NOW.
Pressed on gorgeous ice blue vinyl, comes with a download coupon, and yeah, it's probably limited too... "

Thanks for reading. Stay warm, dry and check out our friends in TRUE WIDOW..best record I've heard in years.

THANKS SAN FRANCISCO and NOISE POP

2010-02-28T18:15:00.000-08:00

Big thanks to all of our friends,both new and old, that came to see us play at Noise Pop on Friday night. It was our biggest show yet (Sold out when we took the stage), and we were honored to be a part of this festival.

We currently have some new songs cooking in the oven, hoping to record sometime this year if all goes well.

We will probably have a show or two in May that we will tell you more about soon, but I'm pretty sure one of the shows is at a museum in SF. Very excited to be a part of this if it comes together.

Check out the pictures below, I'll try and upload more soon.

RECORDING DONE, ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 2009

2009-07-26T09:29:00.000-07:00

Greetings.
We finished recording our first record. It's going to be called "And the Sea Won The Battle". It's 6 songs, running about 45 minutes. It's going to be vinyl only, with a free download coupon courtesy of deadformat. We are really happy with how it turned out, and excited to share this with everyone. In about 2-3 weeks, we are going to post a free download of one or two songs, along with preorder information on the LP. We are also going through some live recordings from recent shows, so expect some other new treats as well.

The track list for the album is as follows:
1) Southern Passage
2) Blood for The King
3) Give my Regards to Hope and Prosperity
4) Latitudes
5) 12 Miles of Fiction
6) Providence

We are currently finishing up the layout right now, but when it's done we will post on here.

Our demo CDs are almost gone btw. You can still get one by emailing us, but Robotic Empire and Revelation have them. If you are in the Bay Area, all of the local indie record stores have them as well. They are hand numbered and silk screened and contain our first recordings: Lights of Barcelona, Blood For The King and From The Horizon.

That's it for now - more soon. Until then, enjoy your summer, stay cool and be well.
