About this project

Dog~Rose~Gall is the long overdue follow up record to Whitman's White Sunrise (which was released in 2008). This album was recorded/produced by Ezra Buchla and I think I can safely say that it's the best thing I've done so far. Dog~Rose~Gall, who's name comes from a superstition involving things falling apart, is a very dark album, even more so than it's predecessor, and collects songs from over the past four years. Also, similar to White Sunrise, there is a large list of amazing musicians who played on this record...

  • Christopher Payne (Whitman) - guitar, vocals, noise
  • Ezra Buchla (Gowns, Mae-Shi) - viola, synth, noise
  • Rich Seymour (Clark 8) - cello
  • Carla Bozulich (Geraldine Fibbers, Evangelista) - vocals
  • Teague Cullen (Foot Ox) - singing saw
  • Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs (The Finches) - vocals
  • Matt O'niell (Quem Quaeritis) - trumpet
  • Tara Tavi (Amps For Christ, Auto Da Fe) - hammered dulcimer
  • Corey Fogel (Gowns, Cryptacize, Missincinatti) - drums
  • Kyle H. Mabson (XBXRX, Skull Tape) - upright bass

So anyway, this was created to help raise the funds to release the album. If we are successful, it will pay to press 500 LP's and 500 CD's.

VINYL VERSION - The vinyl version will be 500 LP's, 400 on black vinyl and 100 on a tba colored vinyl (everyone who makes a pledge will get first dibs on the colored vinyl). The records will come in hand letter-pressed  chipboard jackets with an insert and they will also include a digital download. Each copy will be individually numbered.

CD VERSION - The CD version will be 500 pro-made, glass mastered CD's that will come in a hand letter-pressed, gatefold, chipboard jacket. Each copy will be individually numbered.

TRACK LISTING:

  • Texas
  • Shake
  • Economy Inn
  • Exactly What We Wanted
  • Untitled
  • Christmas In February
  • Give Up

  • Wishes & War Paint
  • For Lisa, 1998

To support the album I will be doing a US tour with No Babies through September and fragments of August and October as well as a tour of Europe in October into early November.

Please help make this dream a reality.
