do the collapse

howdy folks. gosh, i’ve gotten so accustomed to this blogging thing that taking a week off seems like a sin. i guess this is how it all starts. slave to the internet. i’ve been home recuperating from tour, which always takes longer than i want. but thankfully, when i wake up at 4am with jetlag i can lie in bed and think about the new record, which is a compelling and lengthy obsession. i have an incredible band for the show in vancouver in january: martin walton on bass, skye brooks on drums, peggy lee on cello, patsy klein on voice, jesse zubot on violin, and ak coope on clarinet. killer. worth flying out for, if anyone is feeling wealthy out there. it’ll be a premiere of the new songs with full ensemble, plus a reworked version of field study.

here’s one of the new songs for you, actually a song almost 2 years old but just now coming into its own. this recording was made at the hive (on barry’s birthday, as you will hear) with about 30 pals stuffed into the main room all singing and playing together. we added a few instruments later, and made this spirited version of lucklucky.

  2. Well, Veda, thank you for another beautiful art-song (I am already addicted).

    Love the progressive rock bits…!

    You rule ;-).

    When the new album is supposed to be out…?

  3. prog rock? ah well, i guess my roots are showing. glad you guys like the song, i’m quite fond of it myself. don’t hold your breath for the new album though rafael. we’ll be recording in april, and plans are to release it in early 2008. i’ll try and keep things interesting between now and then. and i promise it will be worth the wait.

  4. Great song!

  5. i loved this song the first time i heard it—at rime this past summer. i knew i loved it but wanted to hear it again so thank you for making it available here. i moved to New York City when i was 18 (not by choice) and this song so totally speaks to my experiences here. This article just appeared in the NY Times and made me think of the song so i thought i would pass it along: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/26/arts/design/26look.html

  6. the eb white quote from that article is going to be my slogan for the next year: Willing To Be Lucky.
