Toward the Future.....

Things in the works for 2010.
Millipede - Full Bloom (Install) full length. Finished and due out before or around spring.
Millipede - TBA (Dead Pilot) full length. In the writing/recording process. More info at a later date.
Millipede/German Sheperd split 7". In the works but no more info available at this time.

Most importantly, after the Dead Pilot full length is finished recording I will most likely provide an entire album's worth of b-side type material from the Full Bloom/Dead Pilot album sessions for free as a download here. I sent some of this material to friends after finishing Full Bloom and the reaction was extremely positive. Since I began working on the album for Dead Pilot there has been a lot more of this type of material surface. Mostly it will be things that did not work thematically for either of the albums or possibly sounded a little too similar to me to something I had done before. If there's one thing I can't stand it's an artist's inability to self-edit. At the same time I'm aware that sometimes people want to hear all the scraps if they really like an artist's work. I just want to make sure that it is understood that this stuff is not meant to be regarded as an album unto itself.

Until then....best wishes.

Here is a re-up of the Hyrule cassette. It came to my attention that the old link is dead.

Full Bloom is coming in 2010 on Install. More live actions forthcoming. Another full-length for UK label Dead Pilot is in the pipeline, about halfway through the writing/recording process. In the meantime you can still pick up copies of Death Mountain from Install (www.installsound.net) and the last copies of the Traveling split CD are available through Sunrise Acoustics (www.sunriseacoustics.com) or if you live in Knoxville, TN you can purchase one at The Disc Exchange. Best wishes everyone!

Grab Bag!

Lots of news. First up, Death Mountain was review on Tiny Mix Tapes today. You can check it out here: www.tinymixtapes.com/millipede

A nice score of 4 out of 5 is tough to argue with folks! I believe there are still some left over at INSTALL so go and get them here: www.installsound.net

Second, the Traveling 4 way split with Brian Grainger, German Shepherd, and MOTH is out now and you can get them from Mr. Freeburg here: www.sunriseacoustics.com

I am also working on a track with Brian Grainger for one of his upcoming releases. I'll be splattering a noise solo all over some downtuned sludge that he sent my way. If you like Electric Wizard and Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine (which you should by the way) I think you will dig it. More info on that to come.

Finally, I'm reposting the link to download the Hyrule tape for all those looking to check it out. Click the word below:
hyrule

Next album is nearly done and I've begun recording and writing for the one after that. I can't say anything else beyond that about either of them except that they are even better than everything else so far (or at least from their creator's perspective so you can take that for what it's worth).

Best wishes everyone!

Full Bloom

New Millipede Album News

Quietly, I have been hashing out the details of the next Millipede full-length. No title yet, but here is a full list of songs that have been recorded that may or may not be included on it:

Ice Cream Melting
Confetti & Cupcakes
Nitrous Dream
Full Bloom
Cotton Candy Hair
A Rainbow Beam From Your Mouth
Flowers Wilting
Skullsplitter
Into the Rabbit Hole

There is also one finished song that has no title as of yet.

Tracking has been a very tumultuous affair....one day things go unexplicably well, then another I write and record for five or six hours and scrap every note. So far the finished pieces are (I believe) the best things I've done. The trees around my new house are beautiful this time of year with their white and pink blossoms and have been an obsessive bit of inspiration to me. I may post pictures as I've taken tons of them. I've been going through old photos and playing Mario Kart Wii and Resident Evil 5. That is all for now.
