A FANCY UPDATE!
Hey all you hip and trendy followers of our little band! We just wanted to give you a quick update since we haven't in a little while.
We're currently in the studio with our good buddy/producer/expert marathonist, Bryan Russell, hammering out the last of the tracking for the songs we started working on in March.
Right now the focus has been laying down the remainder of the backing vocals and harmonies as well as sorting through a bunch of instrumental arrangements that we worked on with the very brilliant Alex Overington.
The new album is definitely shaping up different from the older records, but we think it still has that same Narrative charm you all have grown to love! There are a lot of lush, orchestral or quasi-orchestral arrangements mixed in with some electronic components and of course our usual piano/guitar/drums/bass thing, but even throughout the more "grandiose" songs there is a feeling of intimacy. Think Jimmy Eat World meets Bon Iver meets Counting Crows meets Regina Spektor meets Arcade Fire meets Modest Mouse meets Bruce Springsteen meets a whole bunch of other stuff. That should straighten it out for you.
Anyway, we're really excited about it and we hope you don't mind us taking our time and trying to get it all right.
We might have some East Coast shows coming up in November and December and we'll keep you posted about that. We hope to be back to touring early next year with the release of some new material.
In the meantime, please remember that we are so grateful for your support! Without you we wouldn't be able to be doing this, and for that we are forever in your debt.

The song is about the hypocrisies and double standards of US immigration policies. Set to a lush orchestral instrumental backdrop, the song waxes and wanes through moments of both calm resolution and subtle chaos.
