Update on the Release of our Next Album

To Our Fans,


This one is long overdue, but we are glad to say that we will be releasing our second album entitled ‘Crooked Numbers’ before the end of the year.

It’s been 4 years since we released ‘Ante Up’ and we have gone through the process of recording, writing, scrapping, re-recording, tearing apart and re-recording again for the 4 years since ‘Ante Up’ and the year before that when we were still scrubbing the money to release it between ’04 and ’05.

Since we are in the situation again where we are 95% done with a product with limited means to produce it, we have decided to go about releasing the album in a different format. With a promise to make it available by year’s end, and a goal to make it available by Thanksgiving, ‘Crooked Numbers’ will be released digitally for download via iTunes and other means to be announced. We are planning to release the album on CD but a timetable on the compact disc release remains unclear.

Please know that our intent is to release this project as soon as possible so that the people who are closest to us and who have supported us the most (that would be you) will have the opportunity to have this music without further delay. It’s been 4 years and like I said, it’s long overdue.

The track listing will be as follows:

1. Sans Mayo
2. Hell On Wheels
3. Ciao Bella
4. Sinister Waltz
5. Splitsville
6. Foolish Me
7. Searchlight
8. What Am I To Do
9. Mexican Standoff
10. To The Moon
11. Porch Jam
12. 3 Cheers For Circumstance
13. Spilled Milk

These songs are the product of a long process of experimentation. We recorded the better part of our catalogue and whittled the album down to these thirteen. We have worked hard to choose songs that we feel fit together.

‘Crooked Numbers’ will be a Blind Robbery production from start to finish. It was recorded, mixed and will be released by us. We decided to take complete creative control and work outside of the traditional studio to better capture our sound. Because of this, you can expect this album to sound different than ‘Ante Up’. This album has a more raw and honest sound. We are not hiding behind an auto-tuner nor are we interested in making computers or the sounds that come from them. We are and always be musicians and nothing more.

For those familiar with our set, you will be able to think of songs that we have recorded that are not included. These tracks are in our vault (yes, we now have one) for possible future release. The album includes the track “Sans Mayo” which we have never played live and also includes guest appearances by Killer Joe and Kaitlynn and Michele of Play Like Feeling. In addition, the album includes “Spilled Milk” which was cut from the final production of ‘Ante Up’.

We hope that you find our work on “Crooked Numbers” as worthwhile as we found the recording of it. We look forward to seeing you at the next show.
