Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce that our our new full-length titled "Memory

coming (nearly 3 years!) and we are *really* excited to share it with
you. You can order it through our label Temporary Residence at:
www.temporaryesidence.com
It's available on both CD and 2XLP Gatefold Vinyl - the LP version
includes a BONUS track and the first 200 folks to order the LP get a
copy of the limited color vinyl, clear with light blue marble - looks
tight!

the kind folks at Five Roses Press for a sneak preview of the track

Also in support of the new record and leading up to the festival we
have booked a couple weeks of shows in Europe. We still have a couple

We are happy to announce material for our forthcoming 2nd full-length has been tracked and we can't wait to share it with you!!! Once again, we had the good fortune of working with our dear friend and talented engineer Jay Pellicci at Tiny Telephone studios here in SF. The record is slated for SPRING release, again on Temporary Residence and will be available on both CD and VINYL formats with beautiful artwork by Colter Jacobsen. More details soon to come....
In the more immediate future, we've put together "Ceiling Sky" which collects all our vinyl-only tracks recorded to date onto CD for the very first time. The disc includes 6 tracks taken from the "Streets/Nozomi" 12" EP, the two bonus tracks from the 2xLP "Noumena" full-length, and mixes from the recent limited "(rmxs)" 12" Ep featuring amazing remixes by FOUR TET & SYBARITE. Due out November 6th!
Because sharing is caring)))
Love,
The Drift
