GOODBYE JULY: It Was Dark For So Long We Thought We Were Dead (LP Edition)

Goodbye July is the side project of Paul Rijnders, best known as keyboardist for the American synth group Anything Box (Living in Oblivion). Anything Box's bio can be found on wikipedia HERE. He is joined by Cheryl Amalfitano on background vocals.

Goodbye July released their debut, "Basura Blanca" in 2004. The album is a mix of the synthpop that Paul grew up on and the alternative guitar stylings of which he later grew fond. Standout tracks include "Salvation" and "Asleep on Your Soft Word", which was featured on New York Electroclash DJ Larry Tee's compilations. Also included is the Christmas themed "The Only Things Worth Opening", a track he wrote while his mother was in the hospital for heart surgery. Though the song was a celebration, her life was most ironically claimed by breast cancer the day after Christmas three years later.

Paul has an indie rock side project called the Lamented. He is also most active with Anything Box and has recently toured South America several times where they were met by thousands of adoring fans and featured on several television shows. Example HERE.

The album cover is a little different on iTunes

I would definately be there for a Goodbye July and Anything Box show - or a solo show by either of your bands. I always have a fun time at your shows - well at least the 2 that I have gone to. But hey, I can honestly say I have been to every CA show for the last 10 years ;).
