twilight solstice/june 21, 2005
work on powder burns is progressing nicely and the album is beginning to reveal itself. it shifts from style to style, thru day and night and is indeed, darkly conceptual in nature.
greg and scott are travelling to new orleans next week to begin recording the next phase in all it's southern gothic glory. mike napolitano will again be producing the french quarter portion of the record and we expect further collaborations there to join with the already recorded contributions of mark lanegan and joseph arthur.
blackberry belle will be released on vinyl in late summer with the original recording of "run, rabbit ,run" as the bonus track. "run, rabbit" was originally recorded on christmas day, 1998 in seattle and is a four track recording of greg performing it live in his house.
the long awaited amber headlights will be released in early september. the artwork and mastering are finished and we will release the tracklisting, cover and availability shortly.
we are starting to iron out details for the tour next year and hope to be playing some countries and markets previously untapped by the band. it will be a long year of living on the road for all of us, but you know we wouldn't have it any other way.
