so : folks have recently queried about how to get ahold of the EP we're currently mixing for the fine japanese label stiff slack records. and they also want to know how much it might cost. they want to know what has driven us to create such sounds. they need information. they need it now.

i can tell them that it will have some u.s. distro (biz talk for distribution) but to what extent i'm not sure. also, not sure about cost yet, but i think it'll be well worth whatever it comes to. also, unsure about what our inspirado might have been for this latest offering. pink floyd probably. a dash of chaos. a pinch o' sugar. much is unknown. known is a very rough release date for this EP. release: july-ish. japanese tour: october...ish.

but before then it's east, west, pelican, perhaps spain in june with my boys in nueva vulcano, perhaps the rest of europe in aug/sept. much to discuss.
