yearlongday

now that the guitars are silent, and the percussion has ceased, i’ve had the peace of mind to focus on what we’ll do next. i’ve already announced that there is a new, yet-untitled, album coming, and even played some songs from it.

however, looking over our set lists from the past 3 years, i’ve also noticed that yearlongday has performed many songs that are not yet recorded. by ‘many’, i mean fifteen… enough for another new album, likely to preceed that which i’ve already announced.

why should this second new album preceed the new album previously announced? one very sensible reason is that all of the songs are complete; we’ve played them countless times over the years, and have mostly, if not entirely, ironed-out the wrinkles. the songs, including some which have merited rough, once-over demos, are just waiting for the studio sessions that will make them part of the ever-expanding catalogue of yearlongday recordings.

so, the bad news is that the forthcoming album we previously announced is pushed back into 2012. the good news is that another new album of familiar, polished songs will preceed it.

love on ya!
