STEVE'S SOLO AMBIENT RECORD
GETS OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE
On November 16, 2010, Steve's solo ambient debut Nighttide will be available worldwide. (Well, mostly.) The record contains experimental material Steve has been working on between recording projects and during odd bits of free time. The cover is shown below. More info can be found HERE.

Tom is heavily involved with this project as well. They recently finished their debut EP recorded by C. Laszlo Koltay (My Morning Jacket, Akron Family). More info can be found HERE.
DARK ENOUGH FOR STARS NOW IN JAPAN

DARK ENOUGH FOR STARS DIGITAL BOOKLET
We’ve been receiving requests from people for a downloadable digital booklet for Dark Enough for Stars and so we have finally put one together. Now you can read the liner notes and all the thank yous and such. (One of the downfalls of a downloadable era, I guess.) DOWNLOAD
AMNIOSONIC RADIO ON KZUM FM
For those of you living in the Lincoln, Nebraska area, we have been getting some airplay on KZUM. You can also listen to the station via the web. Show of special note would be Amniosonic. Check it out if you need something to unwind with after a late night. Props to Dane Niemann!
STUDIO UPDATE
Dark Enough for Stars was a huge undertaking for us and so we needed a break to breathe and remember what daily life was like. But now that we’ve had some time to separate ourselves from it, plans are being made for the next recording. We’ll keep you posted once we start solidifying things and work actually begins. We know there was a long wait last time and we wanted to at least mention that there is active thinking starting to surround a new studio project.
Additionally, we’ve resumed mixing an EP that we recorded a while ago, but sat on the shelves because we went all out and recorded more parts for the songs than we were prepared to deal with at the mixing stage. Ah yes. A lesson learned. But Dark Enough for Stars taught us what we think we need in order to finish that up. More on that as we get closer to wrapping it up.

DEMOS & SKETCHES CD
We have some left over copies of the Demos & Sketches CDs from the presale we did back in September. As much as we had hoped to unload them all at that time, this actually works to the benefit of those who didn't get a chance to preorder the new album. The remaining copies are available in the STORE to anyone who wants one for themselves or for a friend for Christmas. Once these are gone, they're gone. So get one if you want one.
