July 16th
well here (above) is our new home away from NNF home: a FORT BRAGG alleyway/backhouse. every day is foggy & coastal, and there's lots of hell's angels and hippies. but school is good and life is cool.
an UPDATE: tour ended and was radical, thanks infinitely to JEREMY, LUCAS, KEVIN, and JARVIS for endless WOODS hangtime and gear-borrowing and POCAHAUNTED rhythm sectioning. heavy thanks as well go out to: PONYTAIL, PINK REASON, CATHERINE in CAMBRIDGE, GEORGE for NORTHAMPTON basement hospitality, MATT/DUCKTAILS, BILL NACE & THURSTON for jamming multiple nights, RAPHAEL & CARLOS in PROVIDENCE, the PENNY-ANTE masterminds, ERIC in ALBANY, TODD P, PETE NOLAN for additional drum frenzy, MIKE & MAYA & TODD & NATE for picturesque poolpartyhood and so much more, PETER in BODYMORE for recording and making the journey, and to EVERYONE who came out & hung out & ruled. infinite appreciation goes out from our hearts. we'll definitely be coming back.
in NNF release news, some new stuff is out:
-SCORCES 2xLP: longtime coming masterpiece. intensely intimate and deeper than a dream.
-SOCIAL JUNK LP: noah & heather are still on the road!! go check 'em out!! dates are here: myspace.com/socialjunk
-ROBEDOOR/HUSERE GRAV CS: two bleak sides from LA & TEXAS.
nearly out of several of the older titles, grab a copy soon if yr interested.
and on the upcoming NNF front, expect these in AUGUST:
-POCAHAUNTED & ROBEDOOR t-shirts
-SECRET ABUSE LP: obsessed and hypnotic, J WITSCHER stares into the mirror for 40 minutes and sees the truth.
-SUN ARAW LP: cameron continues on his "BOAT TRIP" drift into dubby summer narcosis. good times.
-POCAHAUNTED "MIRROR MICS" LP: shit is sold out but we still have copies
-EMACIATOR LP: JON BORGES vinyl debut is a dark night of the soul, forlorn drones criscrossing with suicide guitar lines and empty memories.
-GOLIATH BIRD EATER/SASQROTCH 10": BOBB lays down a total monster of outsider riff infinity, and eagle rock ex-roommate NELS CLINE drops the single fiercest guitar solo in NNF's history on top. the SQROTCH side is an archetypal outing, deranged heavy lumbering.
-ROBEDOOR "SHAPESHIFTER SLAVE" LP: new record on OLDE ENGLISH SPELLING BEE, long time coming.
-POCAHAUNTED "ISLAND DIAMONDS" CD: reissue of ARBOR LP with bonus tracks, new art, plus a music video.
-MAGIC LANTERN LP: fucking FINALLY. a classic brainbath of white lights and psych groove. includes the bulk of the live rippers they've been playing the past year.
-JEREMY EARL "SKULL" ARTBOOK: after a couple pressing plants fell apart this thing finally got fully tackled, and is sitting at our place now. a real book, with tons of JEREMY's raddest drawings. includes tape covers and tons more.
there's more in the works as well, but these are the closest to done. as mentioned, our savior/bud JONATHAN is fielding mailorder while we're away, but we have email so hit us up if you have a question about something.
seize the summer,
B & A & NNF
