Our new album The Else is out! | New York City stand starts July 18th

The Else is now available in glorious, digital pre-release form at iTunes. 13 brand-new songs from us to you. Produced by Patrick Dillett, The Dust Brothers and They Might Be Giants

The CD will be out in physical form on July 10th and includes artwork by Canadian super-genius Marcel Dzama.

Always good to hear from them, even if it's stuff I already knew about (like the full-length bonus disc with The Else's CD release). tmbgtalk/-th-u.gif


biff- 05-15-2007
yeah. tmbgtalk/Twilight_anim.gif

i wish they'd play some places that aren't on the eastern seaboard though.... you know... spread the love around a little. tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

what got me excited was this:

so it's not just polished podcast songs stuck in a disk or some live versions. It's brand spank'n new songs tmbgtalk/-grnbiggrin.gif tmbgtalk/-grnbiggrin.gif tmbgtalk/-grnbiggrin.gif
just make sure you pre-order it ASAP so you can get the first edition

biff- 05-16-2007
it's maybe not all brand new songs though, cuz they just said "many"...

many previously unreleased


but i take what i can get. tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

i don't see it at amazon, so i can't preorder it yet. tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

oooh, I can't wait! I love shiny bonus stuff...man, I don't have a credit or debit card, so I probably can't preorder it tmbgtalk/-frown.gif aw well, it'll still be worth it! tmbgtalk/-girlslayer.gif

I really dig those snowman-heads...are they John and John? tmbgtalk/login1.JPG tmbgtalk/login.JPG ...I can't really tell tmbgtalk/-lol2.gif

biff- 05-16-2007

arachnid_flame- 05-16-2007
I like to think they are tmbgtalk/-lol2.gif

biff- 05-16-2007
me too. tmbgtalk/-laugh.gif

klimdeeni- 05-17-2007
I know it's not ALL new songs, but knowing that many of them are is awesome!
I actually hope some of them ARE redone podcast songs
wouldn't it be cool to hear a more rock'n sketchy of a longer valentine or something

biff- 05-17-2007
you know me klim... i'll take whatever i can get. tmbgtalk/-lol2.gif

arachnid_flame- 05-17-2007
