It’s Zac on bass, Jonathan on monome + vocals, Garrett on guitar, and our friend Gareth Walters on the MPC + backup vocals. I’d recommend skipping from 4:30 to 6:00 because there’s just an equipment malfunction and a lot of ambient noise that doesn’t go anywhere.

I hope you enjoy it!

We played a couple songs at today’s TEDx event at U of M. We put them together just for this performance, trying to make something that would really work in this particular venue. Our friend Gareth Walters filled in on second sampler, or should I say “Music Production Center.” It was a good time, and we were honored to be a part of it.

I’ll post videos once the TED people edit them together.

P.S. Still working on that third album.

During the summer we recorded a session at LA’s Luxury Wafers.

thanks to shivvy and heggie for the brain warpage.

thanks to wefuse for the fantastic food and personality that brought us back again and again.
