Update #3: ALSO
HOW WE LAAAVE YA {Al Jolson voice}
Listen and enjoy this forthcoming track from our album written for us by Adrian Knight, titled Family Man. It was inspired by both My Bloody Valentine and Mad Men, even though he doesn't like us telling people that. It is meant to be listened to as loudly as possible (without hurting yourself).

Update #2: Incentives a-comin'!
Dear and beloved backers,
We just wanted to drop a line and let you know that the T-shirts are currently in the design phase and will be silk-screened in the next month. We're completing tracking for the recording next week, and then will be on to mixing and mastering in early May. For those of you who requested these items of schwag, expect them next month!
Thanks for your continued patience and support,
T
Update #1: Thank you! (we made it)
Wow. Jeez. Thanks so much for donating, spreading the word, and supporting this project. We will be getting in touch with each one of you individually at the conclusion of the campaign (it ends on Saturday), but we just wanted to express our gratitude for your support.
For your viewing/listening pleasure, here is some new music for y'all! This is a piece called "You broke it, you bought it" written for us by NYC-based Timo Andres. Timo took one measure of Mozart's Coronation piano concerto and wrote a work around that one measure. We dig!
We'll be performing the actual premiere of it (for actual living people, as opposed to the skeleton in the video) on this coming FRIDAY, January 27, at 8:00 PM at Old First Church in San Francisco. We'll be playing some new music by Max Stoffregen and Damon Waitkus as well, and we would absolutely love to see you there!
Some of you acquired the incentive of two tickets to this concert - we will be getting in touch with you individually to make sure that all works out ok as well.
Thanks again so much for your help,
-Andy and Travis

Loved it! Now I'm going to listen to it again to catch things I probably missed first time around. You're right, loud is good (I almost hurt myself at the end, but not quite). --Jan Perry
Wow....just terrific and certainly needs mmmmmmany listenings. Thanks. Sandra
