Feb 14 2012: So. The new album is a loose concept album: all the songs relate to a single theme. And it's a theme involving people, so if you like you can think of it as a story. But we didn't arrange it (track order wise) like a story, we arranged it for musicality. The point being that I've always sort of wondered what it would like if we tried to arrange it thematically, and today I took a crack at it.
And I think it works pretty well! Obviously some of the track transitions are screwed up, but if you were to tweak the masters a bit to account for that, I think this ordering would work just as well as the one we went with. So give it a spin if you're curious:
1. Through Your Eyes
2. You Got It
3. RockSolid
4. As Soon As I Discern
5. Keeping Me Away
6. Come Around
7. Carry On
8. Askew
9. To The Snow
10. If You Do
11. Regret It And Let It
12. Through Any Eyes

Feb 2 2012: How's this for awesome? Next Thursday, we're playing a show with none other than Michael Cardinal's band The Rotating Point Source at the Caledonia here in Athens. This is one of those shows that destiny has been leading up to for a long time.
Also, it's your first chance to hear the tracks from our new album live. We're stoked to finally be playing them to a crowd that won't be hearing them for the first time. Got songs you want to hear? Shoot us an email, we'll try to work them in.
And if you still haven't got your copy of the new CD... Don't waste any more time, you need to prepare for what's coming Thursday!

Dec 16 2011: Did you miss Squidmas? If no, do you just miss Squidmas? Good news either way: we're proud to announce the release of the Squidmas Live Album!
Every year we put in a lot of effort trying to make Squidmas the best show it can be, and it always seems like such a shame that we only get to play these songs once a year (some of them only once *period*). This year we decided we were going to capture the magic.
The CD is all the best moments from our Squidmas 2010 and 2011 performances, compiled together into one continuous experience.
And the best part? In the holiday spirit of giving, we're releasing Squidmas Live as a "name your own price" album. You can listen to the whole thing from start to finish via Bandcamp, and download it for as much or as little as you like.
Merry Squidmas kids.
