March 21, 2009

so – this is how the story goes. firstly, we’d like to apologize – we have been away from the internet as a general whole for quite a well. the first reason for this was that we did not have access to updating our website for over a year. of course, by the time that we did have that access, we were so back-logged with things to do, and involved very heavily in our current projects and tours, that it took us quite a while to figure everything out. in this process, some of the mail-orders have been very slow, we’ve been poor at responding to emails immediately, and we haven’t released very much in a while, and even when we have – it hasn’t been up on this website for you to know about it. this is not what we ever intended. it has also been a difficult time for many of us – things have changed very largely in many of our personal lives.

we are looking to the future now – something which, admittedly, scares the shit out of us sometimes. 2012 is only four years away. but we’re excited about what is to come, to show any of you who’ve supported us in the past, and wish to stick by us even despite our hiatus / absence, what we’ve been working so diligently on for these past two years since things have seemingly slowed down.

let’s look to 2009. we have a bunch of releases planned – it seems that all of our projects that we work on separately of one another come together around the same time. there will be new full-length records from jordaan mason (now backed up by a band, ‘the horse museum’), sarah d., whatever jailer, and basket of figs – who are all, essentially, the canadian side of our label. shelby sifers is working on new recordings with her band and with tyler tadlock, an experimental electronic artist who we met this summer on tour in mississippi. jordaan and shelby are also going to release a seven inch split in which they each cover one of each other’s songs, to commemorate their tour this past sum

thank you for being patient with us.
