Ladies and germs, we are proud to announce that we begin tracking our new album on May 6th, 2008. We hope to be dropping the magic on you by the end of July.
Come and get it all right here, right now! This is music for the celebration,
the tragedy, the coronation, the beheading, the first coos of romance and for
the tearful breakup. This is music for the orgy, for the fast, for the treadmill,
for the ascent, for the comedown, for the voyage of the free man and for the
kids in the sweatshop. This is music for the icy slap and the gentle caress,
for babymaking, euthanasia, barfights, handshakes, chaos, tranquility, friendship,
betrayal, and for the birth and eventual ending of all things. This is music
for the sluggish, monotonous, apparent meaninglessness of the day, and for the
terrible question that hammers you into sweet unconsciousness at night. Make
no excuses! We are the beautiful and the ugly, and this we give to you!
