Update #5: Oof!
I'm writing after a LONG weekend in the studio. Super productive. SUPER tired. The end is nigh, and I'm not talking about some bullshit armageddon. This is real! An mp3 teaser will be posted as soon as we get a rough mix because we're nice like that. Alright. I need sleep.

Update #4: Getting down to the wire
In my infinite(simal) amount of free time, I've finally made some leaps forward with production. Now it's tweaks and vocals. We haven't ever really gone crazy on vocals before, so it's weird to spend this much time making them exactly the way we want. I will post a couple soundbites soon for all y'all so you can run away screaming, "GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!" I will also post the amazing covers (one by Justin Shaw of Faith Tattoo and one by Mikayla Butchart of awesomness) as soon as they are done. You're going to be stoked. You guys get the super deluxe hand printed version (by me!) of Justin's art. You can check out his artwork here:

We collabo'd a poster that I'll post below. Check out Mikayla's work here:

Her art will be the production run. We're super stoked to have them on our team. Alright! Back to work! Expect more frequent updates, too. Gerry has been bothering me to keep updating you guys so you know we're still making progress and we haven't run away with your money. It's still sitting in the account... waiting for our slow asses. Give Gerry a big ol' hug if you see him around. He's put up with us being super slow. And so have you, so I'll give you a big hug when I see you, too. Alright. In the meantime you should check out Weekend. I've been rocking them for a while now. Summer time jams.
LATER!

Update #2: 14 Hours to Go
Hi everyone. We're nearing the end of our Kickstarter campaign and are SO close to funding this Polar Bears record. Thank you all SO MUCH for the support so far. You are truly appreciated!
A couple of quick shout outs. AARON BEGLEY (!!!) with an incredibly generous donation of $785 really and truly kept this project alive. Holy shit that was awesome of you.
Also, another Aaron, AARON HEUSER was generous enough to drop a cool $300. Thank You!
If we get funded by 11pm tonight, I'll send everyone an update and let you know the status of the LP.
Thanks again everyone for your generosity. I think you will be happy with the result.
Cheers -
Gerry / Saint Rose Records
