We Share our Mother's Health

Ok, so this speech is a bit sensationalist... but man, its pretty cool, too. If you haven't heard Fever Ray's debut LP, I definitely recommend giving it a listen. Its dark and evil in the best of ways. Also, how wicked is the music video for "When I Grow Up"?

Stay with Me

Hola Fan(s?)

Just wanted to post an oldie but goodie that I forgot about. Its a short song called "stay with me." I wrote it right after we acquired a midi keyboard and I was experimenting with the sound effects.

Started working on the new Blood Runs studio track and its turning out to be pretty awesome-- lots of crazy distorted drums and some screechy tricked out synth. Totally different feel from both the demo and the live versions. Also, added some new vocals to the intro that pretty much blew my mind. It was really rough cleaning it off the keyboard.

I image searched the words "stay with me" and the above picture came up. I think its amazing. It was painted (?) by Kirsi Salonen and you can read an interview with her and see more of her work here.

Also, in the interest of proving that no members of the Blamers are dead or lost in the space/time continuum, here are some videos of us rehearsing. Enjoy.

Caitlin's Bday!

We recently celebrated our manager Caitlin's birthday. Bear Witness:

Ps. We are now on LAST FM. Go listen to us!

Photos from the Studio!

So, we have some great news. Our friend, the legendary Nik Lund, has offered to help us record the rest of the tracks for our debut LP. Nik works downtown at Piano Forte, located in the Fine Arts Building. Since he is our formidable equal in nocturnality, he has offered us near free-reign of the building's 10 floors every day after 6. We have only just begun recording, but can already tell that the place is magic. The entire building, which was built in 1880, is a veritable labyrinth of artist studios and rare instrument merchants. I am pretty sure its at least moderately haunted and the acoustics are fantastic! We are even going to use the concert pianos in the ballroom and I really want to record some background vocals in the creepy bathroom on the sixth floor... the options are endless! Anyway, we will keep you guys updated with the continued development of the record and upload some pics, too. Here is the first batch, they aren't great, but they will have to do:

In other news: Word on the street is that we are prepping to release a series of limited edition 7 inch singles before we unleash our LP unto the world. We neither confirm nor deny this accusation.. and instead choose to smile slyly and continue our underhanded musical scheming. bwahahaha.
