MTV soundtrack

Did a lot of work last month composing music for MTV. . . they have developed a new site that you should all check out, it is called Soundtrack. We are a featured artist this week and you can read about the work we did on the 'rock' homepage in a blog from the music supervisor for the show 'Sex with Mom and Dad'.

The Sharp End

Our song "Give Up On Ghosts" will be featured in a new film entitled "The Sharp End." We're excited to be a part of it, and even more excited about the fact that our friends Pictures and Sound + Ki:Theory also have music used in the film as well. The movie will be premiering at film festivals this month. Check out the trailer:

4 weeks of intense composing, recording, and editing have yielded a nice batch of material for a new mtv show. lots of late nights, busted hard drives, and mass creativity have us both looking forward to a much needed recharge before diving into a writing period for our next record.

yesterday, we received word that our debut album was on the cmj top 200 chart for the ninth straight week! thanks to everyone who helped make that happen.

some good records dropped recently:

brazilian girls "new york city"
dr.dog "fate"
flying lotus "los angeles"
avett bros. "second gleam"

in other news...
computer vs. banjo is going into the organic farming business. well...let's just say that the nc farm could prove a worthy distraction to any mountain writing/recording adventures. spinach, kale, cabbage, and snow peas are all major players in the fall crop. i'm sure that we will find a way to sample the crop in some sort of audio format.
