Dee's Ember Fires...

As we embark on the journey that will be forever known as "Flannel", we are proud to announce our first single "Long Way Home."--above is the tentative album art, which may change before the actual release.

For those who have seen us play recently, you have heard the story of the man on 17th Street, and the assumptions made about him by my man Dewey Binns. This song will more than likely not be on "Flannel", so be sure to cop this--we havent decided if it will be a digital download or pressed (i vote both).

This song is special to me, as it was kind of the turning point that made me really want to explore the sound that we are embracing for the new album. Very raw, very bluesy western sound, with grimey ass boom bap--what could be better?!

So in addition to "Long Way Home", there will be a sneak preview of the new album, and a song that we have been asked about over and over...and over.

"TOOTHPICK"

I feel this song needs somewhat of an explanation. For the record it is NOT an 8Bit Cynics song...The lyrics for this song are extracted from a song Dewey did with beat juggernaut JBM for their forthcoming album "Sonic Value". Originally I was asked to play with a sample that they found...instead of looping the sample I decided to just play it live, then added some 808's behind it...even though the track was scrapped for "Nothing 2 Pretty", we still loved the banging instrumental and decided to make it a part of our setlist...jaws dropped, dicks hardened (no homo), and angels clipped their wings over this shit... So anyway, its somewhat of a remix, but not really... its kind of an 8Bit song, but not entirely...All i know is, shit is sick, and we want you to be able to listen to it outside of the shows.

Also we may have instrumentals or accapellas included for your remixing or karaoke needs...who knows.

Look for this early 2009..."Flannel" is still a zygote so be patient.

[stay tuned]

love always,
