…and here’s our cover of Rapture by Pedro the Lion:

“A lot of people think this track is a joke or that the drug references are calculated to draw in people that think drug culture is cool… but anyone who knows me knows that I think drug culture is stupid and worthless. The lyrics of this song describe something that actually happened in October of 2010. Even though I hate chemical drugs and what they represent we can still laugh at an awkward situation instead of sweeping it under the rug.”

We’re dusting off our live pants next Wednesday 1/11 at Beauty Bar supporting Literature. We’ll be breaking out a lot of unreleased songs. It’ll be a time. Come hang out!

Consequence of Sound is premiering our track Heroin from the Twin Daggers EP today. They also did a nice little writeup about us. Go check it out here:

What’s more exciting is that we are sharing their front page with the Beach Boys. Kinda surreal…

This morning we made our new EP “Twin Daggers” available online! We are really excited to let this music out into the world. We put a lot of work into this EP (recorded and mixed it ourselves) and we are very proud of it. As a musician it’s one of those albums that we will love even if no one else listens to it.

You can get it at movingcastles.bandcamp.com, movingcastles.com, iTunes, CDbaby, Amazon, Spotify and a number of other places.

Also, due to a lot of people asking for the album on CD, we are currently in the process of pressing the EP on CD! You can order it now at movingcastles.bandcamp.com and it should ship on or around November 21.

We are releasing our first *real* EP Twin Daggers on Tuesday 11/1/11.

Reasons for doing this: We aren’t much for the pomp of long pre-release hype fests and we didn’t want to steal any of Skyrim’s thunder by releasing the week after (for us nerds).

The EP will be available at movingcastles.com and pretty much every other place that you can get music on on the internet.

So… 11/1/11!!

is this thing on?
