lift off

Greetings from sunny Florida! We reconvened here a few weeks ago to continue writing and practicing for the upcoming tour.

We are excited to hit the road starting tomorrow to see our friends around the country and also to share some of the new songs we've worked on so feverishly these past few months.

Our self-released tour EPs are for sale online in a couple of spots, but I know for sure that Robotic Empire recently stocked quite a few. If you want to pick that up, check out their store. Here's a nice review, as well. 

There's a lot more we're excited about, but it's too soon to get into most of it.

February 2008 update.

We will have our new CDep available at all shows including and after Tampa, FL on February 29th. Four new songs and limited to 200 copies.

The tour so far is going swimmingly. The five dates we did with Giant were great. They are one of the best bands going. Our endless thanks to everyone we've hung out and raised hell with thus far.

Thanks for reading,

CoS

PS: If you're in the Jacksonvile/St. Augustine, FL area tonight, listen in to WFCF 88.5 at 7pm. We'll be hanging out in the studio chatting it up with our boy Jake Brown and spinning a few of our favorite records.

January 2008 update.

This is from Perpetual Motion Machine --

SOUVENIRS YOUNG AMERICA and CITY OF SHIPS
Split LP - Out in March 2008!
This is the evolution of the new Richmond sound, one that has taken the old and created something unique. You get haunting melodies with layered soundscapes drifting among crushing tones. Here, SOUVENIR'S YOUNG AMERICA follow up their highly praised "An Ocean Without Water" CD/LP on Crucial Blast with more intricate, instrumental sprawl that swallows the listener whole. Not easily classified, everything from doom and country to electronics and krautrock can be heard. Fans of Grails and Earth will be pleased. CITY OF SHIPS are more imaginative than ever, evolving beyond the tone of their debut CDep on Forcefield. Combining the driving melodies of Hum with the atmospheric crush of Cult of Luna and the sincere intensity of Hoover, these recent Virginia transplants get your blood pumping. Everything pulses and explodes, there is nothing not to love. The first pressing is limited to 300 with screen printed covers, hand numbered and signed. Available on the band's joint February/March 2008 tour or in fine stores worldwide. Don't miss out, these will disappear quickly.
