True love
The following people played on the new record--which is the best work we've ever done:
Thunderstick: Eric Axelson (whom you may know from Maritime and The Dismemberment Plan)
Drums: Vin Novara (percussionist extraordinaire from Canyon and CrownHateRuin)
Keys: David "The" Durst (he of many GRB tours and recordings, and Maritime, and Fast Eddie)
Violin: Jean Cook (again, GRB native and member of Beauty Pill, Ida, Jenny Toomey, Jon Langford's bands, et al.)
Guitar: Jason Caddell (again, The Dismemberment Plan, former excellent roommate, and current kickass producer)
Singing and shredding and carousing: R. Foolheart Massey XIV ("quatorze")
In a city full of mercenaries it's worth remembering: music sounds best when made by friends. Never forget.
Cheers,
Bob M.
