Upcoming Album - The Devil is Jealous of You

I will be releasing a new record this spring. Here's some more info about it:




February 10, 2011

Dear friends,

I’ve booked a last minute show in Providence, RI on February 16th at 8:30pm at the Spot Underground so I’m breaking my emailing-you-only-once-a-month rule to notify you of this very important information.

I’ve attached the artwork (by the very talented Shawn Stucky) that will be on the cover of my new record. I wanted to call this record, “And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea” after a song of this title that I wrote in the Fall. I pinched this phrase from a lecture by Joseph Campbell in a TV series he did called Mythos (in it he connects the common stories and themes in all the world’s major religions- really interesting!) and I think he was quoting Homer at the time—anyway, I didn’t make it up. I did a google search on this phrase and it turns out there’s a punk band in DC with an album of this title so, back to the drawing board. I’ve decided to call the record “The Devil is Jealous of You” after another track on the album. I will reveal the origins of this name in my next email.

I’ll let you carry on with your Thursday.
