October Update and Bending Light Pre-orders!

October 6, 2015

We're happy to finally announce that our new album, Bending Light, will officially release on October 20th! We're now taking pre-orders on both digital copies of the album as well as a physical digipak CD at our Bandcamp page! There's even an option if you want to save on shipping by picking up the album at our CD Release show at Bottom of the Hill on the same date! You can get tickets for the show here! No matter what you pre-order, you'll get an immediate download of the album's opening track, "Chasing Ghosts," which you can stream below.

We hope you like what you hear, and we can't wait for you to hear more. Please show your support by pre-ordering the album now and sharing our bandcamp page with friends! Hope to see you all October 20th for our CD release show!

A clip from practicing “The Long Goodbye” during our last rehearsal before sheltering in place. Can’t wait to get our sway on again some day soon. #instrumentalrock #postrock #bayarea #oaklandmusic

What’s up friends. Today, Bandcamp is generously waiving their cut off all music purchased on their site. Even so, we’ve decided to make all of our music, including our two lovely albums Remnants and Bending Light, Pay What You Want. There are some incredible artists and labels who could really use your support, so head over to Bandcamp via the link in our bio and have yourself a great day of music! #instrumentalrock #postrock #bandcamp #supportmusicians

#tbt to when we worked on some acoustic renditions of Remnants songs for kicks. Sometimes re-approaching something familiar from a different angle breaths new life into it. Hope you are all hanging in there. We miss us and we miss you. #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #acoustic

Remember being in a band and doing shows? That was fun. Playing live is more than half the reason we do this, and we’re all aching for that feeling. Someday soon. Until then, #tbt to us opening our Seattle set with “Bloom.” #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #ltdguitars #epiphone #mesaboogie #thekrakenlounge

Hope everyone is doing alright out there. We’re keeping our distance and taking the time to rest up. Before this started, we were working on new songs, two of which we luckily had a couple chances to play live. There’s a lot to get done once we are back in the game. Here’s a clip of us debuting “The Mountain” at the Elbo Room in Oakland. #instrumentalrock #postrock #elboroomjacklondon #isles

We hope all of our friends and fellow musicians are taking care of themselves during these strange times. We’re taking the time to reflect, be thankful, and stay inside when we can. Here’s a clip from our PNW tour at the Kraken Lounge in Seattle (we’re still stoked we played a pirate-themed bar, wouldn’t mind more of that in the future). Take care everyone. #instrumentalrock #postrock #krakenlounge #epiphone #ltdguitars

#tbt to our show at the Firkin Tavern in Portland, OR. Thanks to @dangerstuff for capturing Evan in his element! #instrumentalrock #postrock #firkintavern #islesamdthequestforthepacificnorthwest

The homies at Cult of Luna’s show with Emma Ruth Rundle and Intronaut. Evan was definitely there, not photoshopped in poorly.

This Saturday night we rock the Caravan Lounge in San Jose for FREE. South Bay homies where you at? Here’s a clip from “The Long Goodbye” off our last album Remnants. We’ll be hitting this one hard, as well as some new tunes, come get it. #instrumentalrock #postrock #ambient #ltdguitars #epiphone

THIS Saturday we return to San Jose to perform with some dear friends of ours, and we hope to see more dear friends at the show. Not to be confused with our deer friends, who almost never come to any of our shows and prefer to eat grass. Anyway, we’re playing new shit, it’s pretty loud. Come through. #instrumentalrock #postrock #caravanloungesj #bayareamusic #deerfriends
