I TUMBLE
January 17th, 2009
Hi from Sacramento! We’re here mixing our album at remarkable downtown studio called The Hanger:
We’ve been having the most perfect mixing experience imaginable: we’re avoiding the hellacious East Coast cold front, we’re cooking beautiful meals in a well-stocked kitchen, and the studio has spacious rooms filled with pianos, vintage synths, vibes and more all for our amusement. It’s like we’ve died and gone to keyboard heaven. And the album is sounding *amazing*–if I dare say so myself. We’re pretty thrilled. I just can’t wait to have the final mixed and mastered record IN MY HANDS so I can play it for friends without talking loudly over it about all the things that need to change. I know I’ve said it a million times now, but Thom is a genius. We couldn’t have asked for a better producer. He completely gets our aesthetic, and is nice and easy to work with. We got pretty lucky.
Besides mixing 24/7, I’m writing to announce my new tumblr site. I was telling my friend, Matthew, about how I wish I blogged more, but I never have the time, and he suggested that I tumble for all my ADD moments of inspiration and save this blog for my more ’serious’ writing. So here it is:

Check there for my random musings and here for the interviews and longer posts. I recently interviewed the very wonderful photographer/documentary filmmaker, David Black, and will be posting that very soon.
Till then, visit my tumblr!

I agree with Anika! I am hovering around the 12-15 mark on a 1-10 scale. Please hurry, but take your time and do it right…but hurry too! I am so shocked you actually posted something and are having another interview as well, but I miss the science
Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s all good. You are lucky to be on the West Coast for this weather here in Brooklyn! It is debiltating.

Thanks so much, Anika and Paul!
My excitedness is also in the 12-15 range. It’s going to be torturous to have to wait two and a half months to release the album. I anticipate being in a constant panic over it leaking on the internet, so I wish that we could just post the thing as soon as its mastered, but our album art isn’t finished yet, and there’s a million other little loose ends that need to be tied up before we put the album out into the world, so I’ve just got to be patient!
But it’s so nice to know that there are people like you who I can share this excitement with–who actually care about it. This album was made as much for you as it was for me!

Though I’m pretty high on the excitement scale, please don’t rush on the artwork. I just loooove those nice cardboard package you’ve made for Verses… and Reverse Migration!
