      "Wether Reports" will absolutely be on it! We just finished tracking the song a few days ago and it is coming along really well.

Light in August was founded in 2007 and consists of five musicians: each uniquely contributing to the group’s folk-tinged pop/rock sound. Alex's vocals are influenced by the likes of Chan Marshall and Cat Stevens and his guitar playing is informed by his classical guitar training. Anne Dearth and Rachel Woolf, both educated at the U of M School of Music, are on woodwinds and vocals. Jack Henry and Max Stewart are on bass and drums respectively.
In the past 2 years, Light in August has been played on radio stations such as 88.3 and 107.1 and has been covered in The Real Detroit, The Current, The Metro Times and The Detroit Free Press. The band released their debut album entitled 'Places' in August of 2009 and is working with Jim Roll on their sophomore release due in the fall of 2010.
