We're back in France after 2 days of airports & planes... We're all pretty sick, and really tired, sleeping all day long! Jetlag maybe!
Thank you so much for everything, it was so nice to play those shows and hang out with you! See you soon hopefully. (Your games totaly killed me after belmont show)
Review of the 7" in new issue of GIVE ME BACK and old issue of MAXIMUM RN'R:
From GIVE ME BACK #5: Drowning With Our Anchors "Breathing Lessons" 7" "This band does a good job of the "everything's falling apart, but just barely coming back together" screamo thing. It starts off stark with just a failing voice, singing along to a sparse, fuzzy guitar, steadily strumming a slow progression, for a verse and then, you know, it all stops for a second before the rest of the song comes crashing in all heavy. Comes in an appropriately pretty cover with an overlapping image on a transparency. It's nice. For fans of INDIAN SUMMER and all that." - Fil
From MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL #306: Drowning With Our Anchors "Breathing Lessons" 7": "What we have here is a 1994 time-machine 7". It's the sound of high water pants, gas station jackets, HOOVER 7"'s and letters to HeartattaCk. DROWNING WITH OUR ANCHORS prominently features the whiney fervent guy and the gruffer-voiced one, groovy-dub-via-DC basslines, and those eternal quiet-loud guitar dynamics. It seems this is a band influenced by those manilla-enveloped, dried leaf emo bands that got into SLINT back in '93 - POLICY OF THREE, ORDINATION OF AARON, LINCOLN and so forth." - LG
I am proud to announce that I am taking pre-orders for the Her Breath On Glass "What we left behind" collections c.d.
This was a collaborative effort between myself, Bear Records, and Her Breath On Glass.
All the c.d.s are pressed on black poly carbonate discs with elaborate full color arigato pak covers. The c.d. includes songs from hbog #'s 1,3,5,7,8,9,11,12 . plus the live tracks from the limited box sets that hbog did a few months back.
The pre-order version is limited to 25 and come in handsewn sleeves with a screened image, cute her breath on glass lettering, hand numbering, and a special message from me. This is exclusive to my label.
They are $12ppd (only because of the special packaging and shipping) and should ship around July 17th. You can order: paypal: vegan_hugs@yahoo.com or message me about snailmail.
Thank you for your patience. As always I appreciate the support. xo Erick
