typically, when we release a new record we make a solemn promise to our listeners:
“this record is guaranteed not to be on anyone’s YEAR-END BEST-OF LIST.”
and for five albums over nearly a decade, that’s been true. but friends, we’re afraid that this year we have failed to keep our promise.
our 2023 “cinnamon sea LP” (our sixth full-length release) has, in fact, landed on a bunch of people’s YEAR-END BEST-OF / FAVORITES LIST.
trust me, no one was more shocked than us! oh well… thanks for the love. we appreciate it.
perhaps the biggest figurative kick in the head about the reception this record has garnered is the fact that all eight tracks have been played over the FCC-regulated airwaves (as well as on various internet radio shows), individually (not in some “whole album at once” format). so, a deep thanks to the DJs who have given “cinnamon sea LP” a spin or three!
and thanks to clint niosi and stephen finley for the top-job engineering/mixing and mastering the album.
we’ll be on the road some in 2024, and back in the studio making more fuzzy noise for your ears.
thanks for listening. stay tuned for more.
