November 15, 2007:

Here's a peek at the names for a few of the tracks: Birdtalk, Across the Atlantic on the back of a beetle, and In her head it's a symphony, in her hands, a guitar. As for the album name, we're not 100% certain. The working title is still 'The Other Coast', but we're not very keen on it. Time will tell. We're aiming to finish the recording process by the end of the year. Making time for mixing, etc., our goal is to release it early in 2008. Considering that one of the tracks has roots in 2005, we're going to be very relieved to work on completely new (to us, at least) material.
