Friends, We did it! Our initial $1000 goal has been reached. Thanks so much for your support! However, reaching our goal with 19 days left begs the question, "What now?" Well, I'm glad you asked! Perhaps we should set a new goal, not one based on money, but one based strictly on the total number of people who pre-order the album. As of now, 37 people have done just that. It'd be amazing if you could help us spread the word to push that number up to 75! That seems like a high, yet attainable goal, so let's go for it! Please tell your friends about the project, as that's the only way we'll make it, and again, thank you so very much for your help thus far. Best, Bob / Small Sur

Dearest Backers-

We're incredibly thankful for your support and it's certainly exciting to be sitting at over 75% funded after just five days! If the donations keep rolling in and we're able to offset an even bigger chunk of our PR and physical production costs than we'd originally planned, we might be able to do something fun like press a limited run of Tones on vinyl or release a 7" single later this year to keep the momentum going! And of course, you, our Kickstarter backers, will have first dibs on something like this if it ends up happening.

That said, it'd be amazing if you could send out an e-mail or two on our behalf to anyone who might be interested in donating to our project. This would be especially helpful if you have some friends who are fans of our music who haven't donated yet! It may seem silly, but having them order a CD now as opposed to later really does make a huge difference for us.

Oh, and there are new songs up at http://smallsur.bandcamp.com. One of which ("How I Love You") features Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack of Wye Oak!

Thanks again for your support!

Best,

Bob & Small Sur
