Gregor Samsa

as usual, creating albums for us is a long process. organizing 6-7 people living in 5 different states all with little money to spare is a challenge of epic proportions. but there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.

all of the basic tracking is finished. there’s still quite a bit of overdub work to be done, but it’s moving along nicely these days. the album consists of 10 songs and will be our longest to date clocking in at around 60 mins. all of these pieces were written through email and not a single rehearsal was had until 3 days before we entered the studio**. this forced experiment was quite a thrilling approach to writing and it’s safe to say that it resulted in somewhat of a departure from what we’ve been doing in the past.

we’ve received many requests asking about when the album is coming out and i’d like to address them all at once. release dates this early in the game are typically a jinx, but if all deadlines are met and things go well, we’ll see a release in late april. It’s about 8 months later than we’d hoped, but that’s how it goes with these projects. if gregor samsa ever starts writing solo acoustic albums, i promise to meet our projected release dates.

i suppose that’s it for now. one more thing, the brother’s bennett have welcomed the addition of a new member to the family: sarah nikki king joined us by way of marriage in sept, increasing the total number of related gs members to four. who better to play music with than the ones you love?

enjoy yourselves,

**i have to use this space to give a quick shout out to our boy alex aldi who has pretty much blown our collective minds with his supportiveness of this album. we’ll be happy to say that we knew him before he was famous.
