Hi All – Firstly, we want to express our deepest condolences to Susanne and the family of Peter Eichhorn, of P.Trash Records who recently passed.

RIP to a good friend and true supporter of music in general.

Happy end of 2016. We had a hell of a year with this here record above. The response was truly insane – thanks to all the places and friends who put us on their “best of” lists (see below for a sample). But most importantly, a huge thanks to everyone who emailed me, tweeted me or told me in person how important this record was to them. We’ve never had so many peers reach out to us like that with compliments. Sometimes it’s hard to keep going, since we’re not a fresh new band anymore, so when we say it means a lot, it truly does. So, thank you. We had a blast on the road at SXSW, in Canada and on our east coast USA tour with Sonic Aves. Things will slow down a little for a while with a baby on the way, but we ain’t ever quittin’. Possibly hitting Japan and Spain again next year, so we’ll keep you all posted.
