That time of year for “best ofs.” But how about album art?

We finally were able to share some new music for the first time in 15 years this year. With the help of Who released 12 songs of ours this year, via 10 on our newest album Crushed, and an extra 2 tracks on the Gloria 7”.

Everyone likes what they like musically. That’s cool, that’s natural. We absolutely love seeing the music resonate & be appreciated with those who share that line of musical communication.

But we try to match the artwork to our music as best as we can. And take pride in that too!

The Crushed album art is a painting EJ did, and sold (unfortunately) to help fund the making of the album. Which, Shelflife in their wisdom, suggested that it should have transparent print. To keep the aesthetic. Unless turned to the light to catch the text.

The Gloria 7” is a photo of Pennsylvania’s “most haunted statue”: Augusta Bitner’s grave in Lancaster PA City Cemetery. Where we are technically based. With other elements from graves in that cemetery worked in.

We are beyond happy with the music, as we always just make music we want to hear. That's it. But we are also grateful that Shelflife helped us in realizing the artwork that go with these releases.

Much love to all you during the holiday season. See ya in the new year 🙏🏼🤘🏼

 

   

Friday, a limited amount of signed by all vinyl & CD copies of Crushed will be going up for sale. On our & Shelflife Records bandcamps.

These went across the country and back, coast to coast, to have everyone who played on the Crushed sign them.

Alex, EJ, Laura Tears Run Rings , John Fleeting Joys , Kory, & Guyton.

Since we can’t really tour (as it’d be a logistical nightmare for us), & we’ve received many messages about this and signing stuff etc…

So, we have these limited signed in silver copies up this Friday instead. Which are pretty cool. I don’t even have one. 🤣

Thanks so much for your support! It’s been really amazing to be back to so much love after 15 years, of sleeping. 🙏🏼🤘🏼
