First of all, we are very excited about the new 8bit Cynics album. On the eve of the Sonic Value release with JBM and myself, we decided to start the new album which we will release sometime around June 2009. It will be titled "FLANNEL". Ya, like the lumberjack flannel shirts. This may sound bizarre to you at first, but our music has increasingly been coming out with a sort of "Western" sound (its very hard to describe). So instead of trying to correct this non-stereotypical Hip Hop sound, we decided to embrace it and run with it. Bottom line...Shit sounds dope!!! We are three tracks through at this point and every song ties in to one another. This album not only will be different in production and instrumentation, but the format and arrangement will also be taken in a new direction. It's not going to be a typical collection of rap songs like most hip hop records. This will be a complete story from start to finish about the plight of a hard working man turned crook, and his journey across the American Southwest to find success, love and happiness. We are flirting with the idea of formatting it like a play, including an intermission and possibly a booklet of supporting characters if our finances allow us to do so. Anyhow, we are taking this one to the next level.
In the meantime, pick up "These Boots were Made for Walking" and "Self Help". Also, look for the much anticipated Sonic Value album,"Nothing 2 Pretty" early 2009. It's going to be a big year for all of us. Come be a part of our movement.

I'm really intrigued by the idea of "Flannel." Keep everyone posted.
I am sincerely glad you guys started a blog since I have been ever so out of touch. I consider myself fortunate to have been around in the beginning because I can appreciate the amazing growth and all of what you've stirred up. Keep up the ambition and let your passion flow.
