Jim & Jeff met online through postings on the Assemblage 23 bulletin board. After realizing how much the two of them had in common, they sent each other songs in varying stages of creation that they'd each been working on. The chemistry was right, so they decided to create Router with a simple purpose: to vent their emotions through music and have some fun. Router's goal is to complete ten songs for an album; they're currently working on more material. Ghostyhead, posted here, is the first song demo finished. More will be posted as work progresses. Thanks for checking out Router!
Just a quick note to say that "through the trees" has been added to the subLAD MySpace player - it's the first track on my forthcoming album, entitled "where the land meets the sky".
We have also put up a preview of the whole album on the n5MD website:
