An exact transcription of the video update:

SCOTT

FRANK
Uh, yak yak cactus shoobee dop. Right?

SCOTT (contemplative)
Meh

BRIAN
Dwee, dah dah shrah, plah plah sah, dah dah rah, plav da shree, loh ku pah, dav du sah!

(LONG BEAT)

Soo-da-li dwee-daht, soo-da-li doo-ton plah-blah

SCOTT & FRANK (in resounding unison)
Yes.

Hope that clears some up some of your questions.

Hi!

You guys remember that time your vital pledge made it possible for us to print the new record? Well, I do, because I will never forget it. In case prior exclamations weren't sufficient, let me tell you again that we are eternally grateful for your support. This project means a lot to us, and it means even more that you are all interested in seeing it come to fruition. Not even the totally sweet prizes you are definitely getting can make up for how important your support is to us.

You may be wondering what the current goings-on are. We are in the midst of vocal tracking via trips to Boston, which is going very well and is the last stage of tracking for this record. From thereon, we will mix everything, and then send it out for mastering. Lastly, of course, is printing, but we're already working on some great ideas for design and so forth. I'm really excited to show you the new music; I think there's a pretty solid chance you will enjoy it! We're also putting together your Legendary Prize Boxes which are going to be so great you don't even know. Let's just face facts: it will be like opening those surprise snake boxes, except instead of being covered in snakes, you will be covered in cool stuff and you're going to be convinced that more presents should explode on you (non-fatally).

I'll be keeping you informed as we pass various stages of completion.

Thank you for believing in us,
Gunsling Birds.

Thank you to everyone who has pledged! Our minds are seriously blown. We have reached our goal and we could not have done it without you!

There are new awesome developments:

1. There's only one day left on it, and any money we can raise above our goal can help pay for things like mixing, mastering, and sandwiches.
2. Anyone who donates in the last 24 hours gets a free compilation of live recordings!
3. If we reach $4,000 everyone who donated gets a super secret bonus round prize. SICK. The best way to accomplish this is to let as many people know as you can who would be interested in helping make a great album and receiving cool things in exchange (other than, like, personal satisfaction).

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

from the bottom of our hearts

We have one month to raise the rest of the funds! Egads! We're doing so well all thanks to you. Please continue to send the link to people you think may be interested in it. We're eager to make this record super awesome for you to enjoy, which we can better accomplish with more money! Please send it around as much as you can. That would be pretty much The Best

Hello Friends!

We are almost there! It would be super great if you sent this Kickstarter to people you think would like it or be interested. The more we spread it around, the better chance we have of reaching or exceeding our goal! We can do this together!

Meanwhile, please enjoy this video of Eric melting faces.

You guys! I can't believe we are 78% there already! I can't even begin to tell what your pledge means to me. We are totally shocked and eternally grateful. We still have a little less than 10 weeks to go, but I really think we can do it together! If you've already donated, please just send the link to whoever you can, and maybe they'll donate, too. The more we can raise past the 100% mark, the more we can offset the out-of-pocket expenses we've had!

And remember, no one gets charged any money until the last day when we reach the goal. If we don't reach the goal, you won't get charged anything at all!

Here's a little video teaser we put together that's only available to supporters like you! We'll post a few more before this fundraiser is through.

Enjoy!
