Founding guitarist of The Redwalls, Andrew Langer, left the band in the fall of 2008 to write and record his first body of material, while forming his own band, The Sleeptalkers. "I grew up with those guys" says Langer of his former Redwalls band-mates, " The band was our childhood dream. It was a fun and exciting experience for a while, but as my musical taste grew outside of that bubble, it became apparent that I wanted to move in a different direction."
In early September of 2008, Langer drove to Waterloo Studios in the small town of Kent, Ohio to record his debut album with producer Todd Tobias (Guided by Voices / Robert Pollard). With Tobias playing bass and longtime friend, Jordan Kozer, on drums, the record was recorded and mixed in 8 days. "I've been a fan of the work that Todd has done on the Pollard and GBV albums" say's Langer, "those albums are such a big influence on my music. It occurred to me to ask Todd to play on the album since I didn't yet have a bass player. He agreed and it turned out even better than I had hoped."
Drew, you really out did yourself with the track "20th Nervous Breakdown" on the EP. By far my favorite song I have heard yet.
BTW fans, pony up and buy an EP from these guys, or two, each one is hand made by the band and features original art on the cover done by The Sleeptalkers. I wish I knew how to post pictures I ordered 10, each one is different.
Great show in Ft. Worth. It was nice seeing you guys again. Love the EP and passed it around to friends in Dallas. Everyone was asking about the LP saying they wanted to hear more. So lemme know when it comes out. Come back to Texas soon.
Great Job in Cowtown (Fort Worth) guys. It was a really fun show. The emotion in your music comes through! And more that anything I can tell how much you are enjoying it. People are going to catch on to you and your music quick. I hope you will keep the Lone Star State as part of your future tour stops. I know I will be there everytime!
