Update #19: Hello from sunny Seattle.
Typing from a hotel room in Seattle. Unbelievably cold here, but still very charming.
We played at Chop Suey last night to a very brave crowd that stood in a very chilly room.
We put the new song Radium Girls into the set last minute and it was one of the highlights of the show. Can't wait for everyone to hear the album version.
Also, the album title:
Feathersongs For Factory Girls.
Until next time.
Update #18: Quiet, but not really

Ryan Coseboom's fingerprints have landed on recordings and remixes by Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Low and countless others. Rebecca Coseboom's voice has graced recordings by UNKLE and has been celebrated by everyone from CMJ to MSNBC. Together, they have been called "one of the greatest live acts on earth" (KEXP) and "a mini super-group" (FutureSounds).
2010 was an amazing year for Stripmall Architecture. Their second album, Feathersongs for Factory Girls, was released to acclaim that rippled throughout the blogosphere and beyond. Their unique blend of guitars and electronics saw them draw comparisons with everyone from M83 to Radiohead. While such words should be taken with a grain of salt, it's clear that Stripmall Architecture is aiming extremely high. The widescreen production pairs perfectly with Rebecca's heart-wrenchingly emotional vocal performances to jump through the speakers and grab you within the first few seconds of listening.
Now, propelled by their love of late 70's British and German electronic music, they have teamed with legendary 4AD/Mute producer/engineer John Fryer (Depeche Mode/Cocteau Twins/Wire) to produce their third full-length album. For the past several months, the band have been stockpiling vintage synthesizers and effects to take their epic sound in a completely new direction. The first evidence of this will be "We Are Not Cool" - a seven inch vinyl release previewing the sound of the new album.
